KAMINSKY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Agriculture AN ACT to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to solar exploration, development and extraction activities in agricultural districts THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Subdivision 5 of section 301 of the agriculture and markets law, as amended by chapter 565 of the laws of 2003, is amended to read as follows: 5. "Oil, gas, SOLAR or wind exploration, development or extraction activities" means the installation and use of fixtures and equipment which are necessary for the exploration, development or extraction of oil, natural gas, SOLAR or wind energy, including access roads, drilling apparatus, pumping facilities, pipelines, and wind turbines. § 2. Subparagraph (iv) of paragraph d of subdivision 1 of section 305 of the agriculture and markets law, as amended by chapter 565 of the laws of 2003, is amended to read as follows: (iv) If such land or any portion thereof is converted to a use other than for agricultural production by virtue of oil, gas, SOLAR or wind exploration, development, or extraction activity or by virtue of a taking by eminent domain or other involuntary proceeding other than a tax sale, the land or portion so converted shall not be subject to payments. If the land so converted constitutes only a portion of a parcel described on the assessment roll, the assessor shall apportion the assessment, and adjust the agricultural assessment attributable to the portion of the parcel not subject to such conversion by subtracting the proportionate part of the agricultural assessment attributable to the portion so converted. Provided further that land within an agricul- tural district and eligible for an agricultural assessment shall not be considered to have been converted to a use other than for agricultural production solely due to the conveyance of oil, gas, SOLAR or wind rights associated with that land.
