revise provisions for the acquisition of highway easements and rights of way.

Summary

The measure revises statutes governing how the Department of Transportation obtains land or material for highways and borrow pits, allowing gift, purchase, or condemnation. It adds a requirement that the DOT file a detailed notice with the landowner and county register of deeds, stating the purpose, compensation and plans for the easement. If negotiations succeed, the easement is recorded; if not, standard condemnation procedures apply.
