Gov. Tony Evers signed into law Act 174, bipartisan legislation that will protect the freedom to contract and preserve private easements. Authored by Sen. Andre Jacque and Rep. David Murphy, this legislation allows recorded private access easement agreements recorded on or after January 1, 1960, to run in perpetuity, while also allowing access easements recorded before that date to run in perpetuity if certain events occur, such as a re-recording or proof of physical evidence. The law does not impact any litigation resolved as of the bill's effective date. |
