Introduced Text

Michigan HB6046 modifies the recovery of land or public ground by highway authorities.

Michigan HB6046 amends the statute regarding the recovery of land or public ground by highway authorities. It establishes that actions brought by the state or its political subdivisions for land recovery are not subject to periods of limitations or laches. It also creates a presumption that land designated as a public highway in official records for at least 10 years was properly dedicated and accepted. The bill further exempts municipal corporations, political subdivisions, and county road commissions from periods of limitations, laches, and adverse possession claims in land recovery actions.
