What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who owns land that adjoins a highway may, with
the approval of the public authority maintaining the highway, plant, cultivate, and
maintain trees, shrubs, or hedges on the side of the highway contiguous to and within
ten feet of that person's land. Under this bill, if the person who owns the land that
adjoins a highway is a town, the town may, with the approval of the public authority
maintaining the highway, authorize another person to plant trees, shrubs, or hedges
on the land.
