AN ACT RELATING TO PROPERTY -- BY POSSESSION AND PRESCRIPTION

HB 8107 repeals a specific property law (§ 34-7-4) that allowed individuals to gain legal rights to public footways (like sidewalks) through long-term, unauthorized use. This change directly affects property owners, local governments managing public rights-of-way, and anyone involved in disputes over footway ownership. The bill makes no new rules but removes an existing provision about how property rights could be acquired through possession. It is a procedural change to clarify or eliminate outdated property law.
