Bill > HB4093

This bill amends the Uniform Condemnation Procedures Act to update language regarding jury trials in condemnation cases. Specifically, the bill modifies two key provisions: first, it changes the terminology around jury selection, replacing "shall consist of" with "must be" and updating the reference to jury selection rules from an older citation to a current reference to the Revised Judicature Act. The bill requires a jury of 6 qualified electors selected under current law and governed by civil jury court rules. Second, it modifies language about separate trials for compensation, changing "shall" to "must" and maintaining the requirement that there be a separate trial for each parcel's compensation unless good cause is shown otherwise. The bill will take effect one year after enactment and is tied to the passage of another related bill (House Bill 4091). The changes appear to be primarily technical updates to modernize the language and cite current legal references while maintaining the substantive legal principles of the original law.
