Shapp. The State Grange was one of the prime supporters of the measure when it was introduced m the House of Representatives in February 1975. It was passed by the House last July and an amended version was adopted by the Senate this month.

J. Luther Snyder, master of the State Grange, said “passage of this legislation eases the threat of financial disaster that faces farmers when sewer or water Imes are constructed along roads adjacent to their properties. “In the past we have seen assessments for such work that ranged upward from $lO,OOO, with some m excess of $20,000 for individual farmers. In such cases, farmers frequently were forced to sell land to pay these charges. The new legislation, Snyder pointed out, does not exempt farmers from liability for these assessments, but does defer payment as long as the land remains in agricultural use. 17 In its final form, HB 217 provides that the exemption applies to land that has been certified by the State Agriculture Secretary as “having been used primarily for agricultural purposes for at least three years im mediately preceding the installation of water or sewer lines in a right-of-way fronting on or crossing such land.” It applies to farms of not less than 10 acres, or with anticipated annual gross income of $2,000 or more.
