# Railroad and other public utilities' rights-of-way; clearing of combustible material

A. All persons owning or operating railroads, electric transmission lines, or oil or gas pipe lines through forest lands within this state shall keep their rights-of-way reasonably cleared of all combustible material and safely dispose of the same within the limits of the rights-of-way. This requirement does not apply in the case of temporary spurs or railroads and tramroads, nor does it prohibit any railroad company from piling or keeping upon the right-of-way, cross ties or other materials necessary for operation or maintenance of the railroad.

B, C. Repealed by Acts 2012, No. 808, §2.
