HB 6283 Rhode Island House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT ESTABLISHING THE BURRILLVILLE LAND TRUST

This bill changes the official name of the Burrillville Land Trust to Burrillville Land Conservancy, with no substantive changes to its policies or operations. It directly affects the organization's legal identity while preserving its existing mission to protect rural land, farmland, wetlands, and recreational access through land acquisition and conservation easements. The bill updates the name in all references within the enabling statute but maintains all previous provisions about land management, public access, and governance under the Town Council. This is a purely administrative name change with no impact on the Trust's conservation work or community benefits.
