Eminent domain; requiring de novo judicial review of public use and necessity determinations. Effective date.

Summary

The bill forces courts to re‑examine every claim that a taking is for a public use or is necessary, without deferring to the condemning agency’s findings. It puts the burden of proof on the agency, mandates disclosure of studies, and lets owners recover attorney fees if the agency cannot justify the taking.
