41-4-10. Use of unused section-line roads for game production--Notice and cooperation by eastern political subdivisions.
The Department of Game, Fish and Parks may acquire by gift or lease, from willing landowners, the right to maintain unused, terminated, or abandoned section-line rights-of-way as game production areas. This section does not apply to section lines where roads have never been developed. No such interest acquired by the department may prevent a roadway from being reopened to public travel.
Every political subdivision of the state east of the Missouri River having highways or roadways under its jurisdiction may notify the Department of Game, Fish and Parks of any of its developed rights-of-way that are not being maintained as public highways or roads and shall cooperate with the department in acquiring and maintaining such rights-of-way for use as game production areas.
