New eminent domain bill brings a wash of concerns during legislative luncheon
“On the tables during the luncheon, there was a copy of House File 2411, a bill for “an act relating to state and local government powers and limitations, including authorizing loans from city reserve funds and modifying eminent domain authority and procedures and including effective date and retroactive and other applicability provisions.”
“What this piece of legislation does, to my understanding,” said Fry, “and again, I was informed about this about 20 minutes before it took place on Wednesday of last week, it adds the eminent domain language of last year’s bill … it adds that same language back into an existing bill that dealt with loans from cities.””
