Provides that, once vested, a property right remains vested for a period of 10 years, and that period may not be extended unless expressly authorized by the local government. Provides that nothing in the Act shall be construed to impair, affect, or invalidate any rights vested in connection with planned unit developments or subdivisions that have been approved prior to the date of enactment. Provides that the Act applies to all zoning classifications existing at the time of the effective date of this Act of the 93rd General Assembly, and all property rights shall vest at the time of this effective date.
