roads.

Subject:
Amends
procedure for establishment of private roads.

Summary/Major Elements:

Current law, W.S. 24-9-101
through 103, establishes a procedure for landowners to petition for
establishment of a private road to gain access to their property if there is no
direct access to a public road.

This act amends the statutory
procedure by providing for the county commissioners, after conducting a hearing
to determine if the property has no access to a public road, to certify the
petition to the district court for locating the private road, unless the
commissioners elect to retain jurisdiction.
