This bill expands the court's authority when lands given for religious, charitable, educational, or public purposes can no longer be used as originally intended due to changed circumstances. Courts can now modify restrictions on how the land is used and managed to best accomplish the original charitable purpose, or authorize selling the land and reinvesting the proceeds in other suitable property that serves the same purpose.
