AN ACT relating to the abolition of eminent domain.

Summary

HB 845 proposes a constitutional amendment that would prohibit the Commonwealth, its subdivisions, and other public bodies from taking private property for public use without the owner's consent and just compensation, effectively ending eminent domain. It revises several constitutional sections, repeals provisions that allow eminent domain for railroads and set compensation rules, and requires the amendment to be placed on a future ballot for voter approval. The measure would impact all public entities and private property owners across Kentucky.
