PROPERTY/EXPROPRIATION: Provides relative to eminent domain
HB 492 is a procedural bill that amends the text of a separate eminent domain law currently under consideration. It does not create new policies or directly affect any specific individuals or groups on its own. Instead, the bill defines key terms used in the related legislation and sets a condition stating that it will only become effective if the original eminent domain bill is passed and signed into law.
