The relocation must not lessen the utility of the easement, increase the burden on the easement holder, impair the easement's purpose, or disrupt safety. The act applies to easements created before, on, or after its effective date. It excludes certain easements, such as public utility, conservation, and negative easements. The relocation process requires a civil action, with specific findings and conditions that must be met for court approval.
