161.442 RECONVEYANCE TO FORMER OWNER.
Notwithstanding sections
161.23,
161.41,
161.411,
161.43,
161.44, or any other statute, the
commissioner of transportation, with the consent of the owner, may transfer, sell, or convey real
property including fixtures, and interests in real property including easements, to the owner from
whom the property was acquired by the state for trunk highway purposes through a pending
eminent domain action. The transfer of title may be by stipulation, partial dismissal, bill of sale,
or conveyance. Any resulting change in the state's acquisition must be explained in the final
certificate for that action. This provision does not confer on a landowner the right to compel a
reconveyance without the consent of the commissioner.
