Eminent Domain and Condemnation Authority - Repeal (Property Rights Protection Act)

Summary

The legislation removes the state’s authority to take private property through eminent domain and deletes the statutes that currently allow such takings. It amends the Maryland Constitution and repeals dozens of code sections across many titles, affecting agencies, utilities and local governments that rely on condemnation powers. The change is intended to protect property owners by ending state‑initiated land seizures.
