Under existing law, the county commission of a county has general superintendence of public roads.
This bill would specify that a county commission may adopt a uniform notice requirement for timber owners prior to utilizing county roads in conjunction with their timber harvesting operations. The failure to comply with the notice requirement would be punishable by a civil fine for each violation. The bill would prohibit any other notice, permit, license, or security to use public roads in the county with respect to timber owners.
