This bill proposes the repeal of a specific provision in Minnesota law concerning the maintenance of closed or abandoned town roads. Specifically, it targets Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 365.10, subdivision 11, which allows town electors to authorize the town board to decide on the maintenance or opening of town roads or cartways that have not seen any maintenance or construction for 25 years or more.

By eliminating this provision, the bill effectively removes the authority of town electors to influence decisions regarding these long-abandoned roads, thereby streamlining the process for managing such properties. The repeal aims to simplify the legal framework surrounding town road maintenance and potentially reduce the administrative burden on local governments.
