Summary

The bill narrows the definition of public use for eminent domain, barring takings justified only by economic development. It also stops local governments from expanding eminent‑domain authority without explicit state law and adds a right of first refusal for owners of surplus property. These changes aim to protect private landowners while preserving legitimate public projects.
