Bill Summary
Relative to damages from eminent domain takings for private investment. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to amend Chapter 79 of the Massachusetts General Laws to require that any agreement for damages from an eminent domain taking for private or commercial investment must award a minimum of two hundred percent of the fair market value for the parcel of land. This is a change from the existing law, which does not specify a minimum compensation amount. The bill is intended to provide greater protection for property owners whose land is taken through eminent domain for private investment purposes.
