HB 2212 Certain private roads or rights-of-way; gates and fences.

Introduced by: C. Matthew Fariss | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Certain private roads or rights-of-way; gates and fences. Removes the requirement that a petitioner prove that a gate was willfully and maliciously erected in order for a court to require a landowner to make necessary and reasonable changes to a gate erected by such landowner across a private road or right-of-way owned by another person. The bill clarifies that this does not prohibit the replacement of a gate with a cattle guard as authorized by current law.
