Bill Summary
To prohibit the state and municipalities from exercising the use of eminent domain for commercial purposes.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend title 8 of the general statutes to prohibit the state and municipalities from using eminent domain for commercial purposes. Eminent domain is a legal power that allows government entities to acquire private property for public use, typically by providing fair compensation to the property owner. In this case, the bill specifically aims to prevent state and local governments from using eminent domain when the primary purpose is to benefit commercial or private economic interests, rather than traditional public uses like building roads, schools, or other public infrastructure. By restricting eminent domain to non-commercial purposes, the bill seeks to protect private property rights and prevent government from transferring land from one private owner to another under the guise of economic development or public benefit.
