Bill Summary
Relative to damages from eminent domain takings for private investment. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect private property rights by requiring a minimum compensation of 200% of fair market value for any land acquired through eminent domain for private or commercial investment purposes. Eminent domain is the government's power to take private property for public use, and this bill seeks to prevent abusive takings by ensuring significantly higher payouts to property owners. The bill amends the state's eminent domain law, Chapter 79 of the General Laws, to implement this new minimum compensation requirement.
