RIGHTS-OF-WAY – Amends existing law to establish requirements regarding the vacation of public rights-of-way that furnish access to state or federal public lands or waters.

Idaho's H 101 amends laws governing the abandonment of public rights-of-way (like roads) that provide access to state or federal public lands or waters. It directly affects county commissioners, property owners, and the public by requiring specific procedures before vacating such rights-of-way. The key provision mandates that counties must provide a "substantially similar" replacement right-of-way with perpetual public access to the same lands or waters if the original access is removed, and prohibits vacating access without this replacement. The bill also requires counties to follow formal hearing processes and document decisions, with a $2,500 value threshold for charging entities acquiring vacated land. This ensures continued public access to public lands and waters while clarifying legal procedures for rights-of-way abandonment.
