Eminent Domain - As enacted, excludes certain recreational facilities, recreational purposes, and parks from the definition of "public use" as it applies to eminent domain. - Amends TCA Title 29, Chapter 17, Part 1.

This bill amends Tennessee law to clarify that eminent domain cannot be used to take private property for building recreational facilities, parks, or other recreational purposes. It explicitly removes these uses from the legal definition of "public use," preventing the government from seizing land primarily for private enjoyment or indirect economic benefits like increased tax revenue. However, the law still allows the government to use eminent domain for essential public projects such as roads, bridges, utilities, and urban renewal efforts in blighted areas. By making these changes, the bill restricts the scope of property that can be condemned while preserving existing powers for critical infrastructure and community development.
