Bill > HB1401

This bill clarifies that a "certificate of take," which is a legal document used in eminent domain proceedings to formally claim property for public use, can now include a combination of one or more plats, drawings, or plans to describe the property being acquired. Eminent domain is the power of the government to take private property for public use, even if the owner does not wish to sell, provided just compensation is paid. This change aims to ensure that property descriptions in these certificates are sufficiently detailed and informative for property owners.
