HB 1060 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Easements; the Oklahoma Uniform Easement Relocation Act of 2025; easement relocation; court orders; effective date.

HB 1060 establishes the "Oklahoma Uniform Easement Relocation Act of 2025," giving property owners the legal right to request relocation of easements (like utility lines) crossing their land. It allows property owners to file court cases to relocate easements, requiring courts to follow specific guidelines and mandating parties to act in good faith during the process. The bill covers most easements but excludes conservation easements, and it prevents property owners from waiving this relocation right through contracts. Relocation requires recording documents and shares reasonable costs between parties, applying to easements created before, on, or after the law's effective date.
