Modifies provisions relating to the condemnation of property

This bill restricts the ability of government entities and cities to take private property through condemnation, specifically protecting lands owned by religious organizations that are tax-exempt. Under the new rules, these religious properties cannot be seized unless the government intends to use them for public utilities, such as power lines or water systems. The legislation applies to all cities and constitutional charter cities, ensuring they must follow this limitation when exercising their power of eminent domain. By adding these exceptions to existing condemnation laws, the bill creates a specific safeguard for houses of worship against forced acquisition for general public projects.
