Massachusetts S3150 modifies land separation rules for renewable energy projects on agricultural land.

Massachusetts S3150 amends land separation rules to allow for renewable energy projects on agricultural land. If the separated land is not actively used for agriculture or horticulture, it can be used for renewable energy without triggering the option to purchase. Instead, it will be subject to 50% of the roll-back taxes. If the land ceases to be used for renewable energy or is converted to another use, it will then be subject to the option to purchase and any remaining taxes. The separated land cannot exceed 10% of the total assessed land or 15 acres.
