H.B. 08-1007 Private toll roads and toll highways - prohibition of corridor specification - notice requirements. Repeals the existing statutory requirement that a private toll road or toll highway company (company) specify a 3-mile corridor for a proposed toll road or toll highway in its filed formation document, and prohibits a company from specifying and mapping a transportation corridor in its filed formation document filed on or after the effective date of the act. Specifies that any corridor included in a company's filed formation document filed before the effective date of the act shall not be deemed to give the company any property right or exclusive development right within the corridor other than the exclusive right to seek approval to develop a toll road or toll highway within the corridor and, only if such approval is granted, the exclusive right to develop a toll road or toll highway within the corridor.
Repeals existing statutory provisions that require the mailing, filing, and recording of notice of a proposed toll road, toll highway, or toll road or toll highway project and the filing of a disclaimer of interest and map of the 3-mile corridor within which the proposed road, highway, or project is to be constructed, and declares any properly authorized notice, disclaimer of interest, or map filed or recorded before the effective date of the act as required by the repealed statutory provisions to be void and of no effect. Requires a county clerk and recorder to transfer any map filed by a company before the effective date of the act to the board of county commissioners of the same county, and requires the company to provide a copy of the map to each municipality within the 3-mile corridor it specified and mapped in its filed formation document before the effective date of the act. States that the voiding of a notice, disclaimer of interest, or map conclusively establishes that the notice, disclaimer of interest, or map does not affect the title to any property or have any legal effect, and requires a title insurance company or title insurance agent to exclude such a notice, disclaimer of interest, or map from any documents it prepares on or after the effective date of the act. Specifies that no cause of action at law or in equity shall be maintained based upon:
● The act of preparing, filing, or recording a notice, disclaimer of interest, or map lawfully filed or recorded and subsequently voided;
● The voiding of such a notice, disclaimer of interest, or map; or
● The inclusion or exclusion of such a notice, disclaimer of interest, or map from any document prepared by a title insurance company or title insurance agent.

Requires the notice to describe the road, highway, or project, including its location, termini, improvements, and operation.
