Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
No liability for livestock crashes on designated roads
On a designated open pasture road, landowners and livestock owners are not liable for damage to a car or its occupants from a livestock collision. Drivers may need to rely on their own insurance for losses on these roads. This protection applies starting November 1, 2026.
Owners pay for standard cattle crossing signs
For a designated open pasture road, the county puts cattle crossing signs at each end. Signs must be 24-inch yellow diamonds with a black cow. The owner who asked for the designation pays the sign cost. This applies starting November 1, 2026.
Landowners can designate open pasture roads
The board can designate open pasture roads without the old deadline. A county must treat a road as open pasture if it is county‑maintained, has cattle guards at access points, has no fencing, the same owner controls both sides, and cattle may run at large. The owner starts it by sending the board a notice and map; each year the owner must confirm it still qualifies and wants to keep it. If the status ends, the owner has 30 days to fence cattle out of the road. These rules apply starting November 1, 2026.
