HB 3906 allows government agencies or utilities with eminent domain power (like public utilities or local governments) to apply for land use permits *before* taking property through condemnation, treating them as if they owned the land.

It does not change housing development rules but focuses on simplifying land use approvals for eminent domain cases.
