Summary

The bill gives owners who receive a damage award from a watershed district or drainage authority the option to have that award appraised, negotiated, and, if necessary, decided in an eminent‑domain proceeding under chapter 117. This election replaces the standard appeal process for those damages and applies to projects financed by special assessments or drainage authorities. It is intended to provide a clearer, potentially faster path for disputing damage determinations.
