change the criteria for a petition to vacate a highway.
This bill changes who can petition to vacate a highway by replacing the old requirement of "two or more voters" with a new threshold based on county population—specifically, voters equal to at least one percent of ballots cast in the last gubernatorial election. The bill also clarifies that county commissioners can act on petitions signed by county-wide voters meeting this same percentage threshold, while township boards can still vacate highways with petitions from two-thirds of adjacent landowners.
