Description

Eminent domain; definition of public uses. Enacts two alternative definitions of the public uses for which private property may be taken, and provides for a November 2007 referendum at which voters may indicate which definition they prefer or vote to leave the law unchanged. If a majority of those voting vote in favor of one of the alternative definitions, it will take effect January 1, 2008. Read the Bill »
