Bill Summary

EMINENT DOMAIN -- Amends existing law to remove language prohibiting the use of eminent domain for the purpose of certain recreational trails.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to remove language prohibiting the use of eminent domain for the purpose of certain recreational trails. Eminent domain is the power of the government to take private property for public use, with compensation. The bill removes the previous restriction on using eminent domain specifically for trails, paths, greenways, or other ways for walking, running, hiking, bicycling, or equestrian use, unless they are adjacent to a highway, road, or street. This change would allow the government to use eminent domain more broadly for the purpose of developing recreational trails.
