This bill amends current law to prohibit the acquisition of prescriptive rights in private roads, ways, driveways, or trails through adverse use. Specifically, it changes the subdivision heading preceding RSA 477:33 from "No Prescription Against the Public" to "Adverse Possession and Prescriptive Easements; Limitation." Additionally, it introduces a new section, RSA 477:34-a, which states that the use of a landowner's private roads or trails by any person or the public will not create or establish any rights, title, interest, or easement by prescription or adverse possession, nor will it raise any presumption of a grant.

The bill includes exceptions for claims related to utilities in use prior to January 1, 1948, and for existing state, county, or municipal prescriptive easements. It also clarifies that the act will not apply to any claims that have already been fully adjudicated or are currently being adjudicated before the effective date of the act, which is set to take effect 120 days after its passage.
