Description
Condemnations by public service corporations. Prohibits a public service corporation from acquiring by condemnation proceedings land or interest therein that is subject to a conservation easement. If the public service corporation owns a right-of-way in land that is subject to a conservation easement on which it has existing lines or other facilities, then it shall not expand its easement by condemning adjacent land that is subject to a conservation easement. This restriction does not prohibit a corporation from acquiring the right to install, operate, and maintain additional utility facilities within the area of its existing right-of-way or similar interest. Amends § 56-49 (“Powers.”), of the Code of Virginia. View Full Text »
