Property: condemnation; attorney fees; modify. Amends sec. 6 of 1980 PA 87 (MCL 213.56). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5901'26

Summary

The bill changes the Uniform Condemnation Procedures Act so property owners can file a motion to review whether a public or private agency’s taking is truly necessary, with hearings within 30 days and court decisions within 60 days. It defines the agency’s burden of proof, limits appeals to those granted leave, and treats failure to file a motion as a waiver of the right to challenge necessity. The changes affect owners, public agencies, private agencies, and the courts handling eminent‑domain cases.
