Annexed county road easements clarified

A bill that attempts to clarify the status of county roads when annexed by a city or village was approved by the Legislature May 1.

LB377, introduced by Wahoo Sen. Jerry Johnson, amends existing Nebraska law to clarify that the authority held by a county board over a county road, including any easements, are transferred to the governing body of an annexing city or village.
