31-13-55. Indemnity requirement for construction or survey work within road right-of-way.
An organized township may require any person performing construction or survey work within any township road right-of-way which may damage such right-of-way to furnish an indemnity bond in a reasonable amount as determined by the township board to indemnify the township for any damage done beyond normal wear. However, if a registered professional engineer or a registered land surveyor is surveying land, as defined in §36-18A-4, for an individual landowner of the township, the provisions of this section do not apply.
