Land use: land division; path, sidewalk, or walkway; provide for relinquishment of easement. Amends sec. 222a of 1967 PA 288 (MCL 560.222a).

This bill simplifies the process for removing public utility easements, paths, or sidewalks from property records in Michigan. Instead of requiring a court lawsuit, it allows these rights to be released if all affected parties, including utility companies, landowners, nearby neighbors, and local government officials, agree in writing. Once this written agreement is recorded with the county register of deeds and filed with the state department, the relinquishment becomes effective without needing judicial intervention. The law applies specifically to easements and public walkways that are part of an officially recorded land subdivision plan.
