Bill > HB2205

This bill amends Title 74 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically concerning the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission's ability to acquire property. It removes provisions that previously allowed the commission to condemn, or take private property for public use through a legal process, and to enter and possess condemned property. Furthermore, it explicitly prohibits the commission from condemning any lands, property rights, or easements, effectively ending its power of eminent domain for acquiring property. The bill also repeals a section related to the commission's entry and possession of condemned property and amends another section to state that condemnation by the commission is prohibited, with exceptions for proceedings or actions already initiated before the bill's effective date.
