HJR 30 -- Eminent Domain

Sponsor:  Henke

This proposed constitutional amendment restricts, upon voter
approval, the use of eminent domain.  Currently, private property
cannot be taken or damaged for public use without just
compensation.  The amendment specifies that no use will be
considered public in which any entity other than the state, a
political subdivision, public agency, public utility, or rural
electric cooperative will use or own the property.  The amendment
also provides that no land classified as agricultural and
horticultural will be deemed blighted.
