HJR 14 by Corte has been referred to the Senate State Affairs Committee after its passage in the House with a 144-0 vote. This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to tighten the definition of public use for a taking to "only if the taking, damage, or destruction is necessary for the elimination of urban blight on a particular parcel of property or the possession, occupation, and enjoyment of the property" by a condemning entity.
The engrossed version of this bill includes language from HJR 65 by Davis, which would require compensation to include relocation costs for a homestead or farm.
