After taking a couple of months off to battle COVID, State Senator Andre Jacque is back to work and has introduced a new bill.
The legislation, which was co-authored by Greenville Assemblyman David Murphy, looks to create an exception to the 40-year recording requirement for certain easements.
In a news release, the duo state that an easement is an interest in real property that gives someone the right to use another person’s property.
However, this right is not automatic, and under current Wisconsin law, must be established in writing and recorded to be preserved.
Further, access easements presently expire automatically after 40 years unless renewed by re-recording the easements.
This bill creates a simple exception from the statute, as is enjoyed by conservation easements, utilities and railroads easements, and interests of political subdivisions.
