SB 1054 Rhode Island Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT ESTABLISHING THE BURRILLVILLE LAND TRUST

SB 1054 changes the name of the existing "Burrillville Land Trust" to "Burrillville Land Conservancy" throughout state law, with no substantive policy changes to its operations. The bill updates terminology in the governing ordinance but maintains the same purpose: protecting Burrillville's open space, farmland, wetlands, water resources, and recreational lands through land acquisition and conservation easements. The Trust Conservancy's authority to manage properties, require public access where possible, and remain tax-exempt remains unchanged. This is a procedural name correction affecting only the entity's title, not its mission or powers.
