Relating to the definition of conservation easement.

SB 2874 amends Texas law to clarify the definition of a "conservation easement" in the Natural Resources Code. It adds specific new purposes that such easements must protect, including preventing excessive artificial light from harming living things. This change directly affects landowners, conservation groups, and local governments that use or manage conservation easements. The bill updates the legal definition without altering existing requirements for agricultural, environmental, or historical preservation uses. The definition becomes effective September 1, 2025.
