Bill Summary
Relative to eminent domain taking damages. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 79 of the General Laws to require that any agreement for damages from an eminent domain taking for private or commercial investment must award a minimum of two hundred percent of the fair market value for the parcel of land. This means that property owners would be entitled to receive at least double the fair market value of their land if it is taken through eminent domain for private or commercial development projects. The bill also specifies that it shall take effect upon its passage.
