AI Summary
This bill mandates that the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) must offer at least 125% of a property's appraised fair market value when purchasing it for a project, a change from previous practices. Additionally, it clarifies that individuals whose property is damaged due to a public project, even if the property isn't directly acquired, can pursue a legal claim for compensation through a process known as inverse condemnation, which allows them to seek damages in court when the government has effectively taken or damaged their property without formal eminent domain proceedings.
