Bill > S2303

This bill establishes provisions for the maintenance, repair, and replacement of private ways, bridges, and common amenities in municipalities. It defines key terms such as "benefited land," "private way," and "common association," and creates an "equitable servitude" to obligate proprietors and rightful users to participate financially or otherwise in maintaining these private infrastructure elements. The bill outlines procedures for establishing a maintenance process or common association through prior recorded instruments or by a majority vote of affected parties. It also grants common associations the power to levy assessments, establish liens, and enforce compliance. The bill aims to provide a framework for the ongoing upkeep of privately owned community resources that are not maintained by local governments.
