Senate State Affairs Hearing Thursday, May 21st

The Senate State Affairs Committee, chaired by Senator Duncan, has scheduled HJR 14 by Corte (Senate Sponsor Duncan) for public hearing today at 1 pm or upon adjournment in the Senate Chamber at the Capitol.

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 and require compensation for condemnation to include relocation costs for a homestead or farm.
