The state board of land
commissioners may grant rights-of-way across or upon any portion of state land for
any ditch, reservoir, railroad, communication system, electric power line, pipeline, or
other installation necessary for the operation of said services or utilities and may
grant rights-of-way on any tracts of state land to any person, public agency or
instrumentality of the United States, or to this state, or to any of the institutions,
agencies, counties, municipalities, districts, or other political subdivisions of this
state for the purpose of building schoolhouses or public roads or highways or for
any lawful use or purpose. Any right-of-way so granted shall be on such terms as
the board shall determine and shall be subject to the filing fee specified in section
36-1-112. Said board may execute and sign, as provided by this article, on behalf of
this state, an instrument in writing for such right-of-way or grant. This section shall
not be construed to grant authority to said board to convey title to any such land by
a grant of right-of-way. Whenever rights-of-way granted for any purposes
mentioned in this section cease to be used for such purposes, the rights-of-way
shall terminate, and all rights shall revert to this state or its successors in interest.
