SUMMARY
This amendment provides that the exemption in the bill from the subdivision laws for the division of a new or existing structure in a municipality where a project is subject to municipal site plan review takes effect July 1, 2018. The amendment also requires that variances from subdivision criteria be recorded within 2 years of final subdivision approval; the bill removes a provision in current law requiring such recording within 90 days.
