This bill defines contiguous property for the purposes of qualifying for the special tax assessment under the Forestland Protection Act. When a portion of the land under a covenant is sold, it restricts penalties and interest to the party that breaches the covenant on their share of the land owned under the covenant.  The land of the non breaching owner remains in the covenant without penalty.  If property of less than 200 acres is purchased that is contiguous to an existing covenant, it can may be added to the existing covenant for the remainder of the covenant period.
