§ 7-45-108. Notice requirements for proposed toll roads and toll highways - removal from titles and voiding of previously filed and recorded documents
(1) (a) Within ninety days of June 2, 2008:
(I) The county clerk and recorder of each county in which a preexisting toll road or toll highway company filed a disclaimer of interest and map pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection (1), as said paragraph (b) existed before June 2, 2008, shall transfer the map, but not the disclaimer of interest, to the board of county commissioners of the county; and
(II) A preexisting toll road or toll highway company shall provide a copy of the map, but not the disclaimer of interest, that the company filed pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection (1), as said paragraph (b) existed before June 2, 2008, to the governing body of each municipality that is included within the three-mile corridor specified and mapped in the company's filed formation document.
(b)(I) Any properly authorized written notice, disclaimer of interest, or map filed or recorded by a preexisting toll road or toll highway company as required by subsection (1) of this section, as said subsection (1) existed before June 2, 2008, is hereby declared void and of no effect. The voiding of a written notice, disclaimer of interest, or map pursuant to this paragraph (b) conclusively establishes that the written notice, disclaimer of interest, or map does not affect the title to any property or have any other legal effect, and a title insurance company or title insurance agent shall exclude a void written notice, disclaimer of interest, or map from any documents it prepares on or after June 2, 2008.
(II) No cause of action at law or in equity shall be maintained based upon:
(A) The act of preparing, filing, or recording a written notice, disclaimer of interest, or map filed or recorded by a preexisting toll road or toll highway company pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, as said subsection (1) existed before June 2, 2008, that was subsequently voided pursuant to subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (b);
(B) The voiding of such a written notice, disclaimer of interest, or map; or
(C) The inclusion or exclusion of such a written notice, disclaimer of interest, or map from any document prepared by a title insurance company or title insurance agent.
(2) Within ninety days of the inclusion of a toll road or toll highway or any other element of a toll road or toll highway project proposed by a preexisting or new toll road or toll highway company in the comprehensive statewide transportation plan as required by section 7-45-105 (1), the toll road or toll highway company shall send written notice to each person who owns real property within the proposed route of the proposed toll road, toll highway, or project of the intent of the toll road or toll highway company to construct the proposed toll road, toll highway, or element of the project. The toll road or toll highway company shall send the notice by certified mail and shall describe the proposed toll road, toll highway, or project, including its location, termini, improvements, and operation.
