Eminent Domain Law Making Progress
“In this case the developers of these phases of Hurricane Lake subdivision did nothing illegal. They had the right to exercise eminent domain…and did.
But Representative Hammer believes only government entities should have that power…and that is what he bill seeks to ensure.
“What this bill does is do away with the Property Owner Improvement District’s ability to be able to exercise eminent domain over their neighbor for the purpose of putting a road or an easement into their property,” says Rep. Hammer.
Representative Hammer’s bill cleared a Senate committee today. It has already cleared a House committee and a vote of the full House of Representatives.”
