Expands eligibility for deer fencing grants to farmers leasing farmland.

This bill expands eligibility for deer fencing grants to farmers who lease farmland, requiring them to obtain written approval from the landowner before applying. Previously, only landowners could apply, but this change allows lessees to access grants for deer fencing costs, matching up to 50% of eligible expenses (capped at $50,000 per applicant). The bill also removes a requirement that the agreement to keep land in agricultural use for eight years be filed as a deed restriction. Additionally, it sets repayment rules: if the land is sold or taken out of farming within eight years, recipients must repay 50-100% of the grant based on when the violation occurs.
