Establishes a voluntary program for designating agricultural protection areas in Illinois.
The Agricultural Protection Area Act creates a voluntary statewide program for landowners to designate their land as agricultural protection areas. These areas are meant to protect and preserve agricultural use. The Illinois Department of Agriculture administers the program, which includes appointing a commission to advise on applications. Landowners can add or remove land from these areas, and the designation automatically renews every 20 years unless terminated.
