Just the Facts. SB 628. The Eminent Domain Package via Senator Schwertner.

  • The author list: Schwertner | Birdwell | Burton | Campbell | Creighton | Hall | Huffines | Kolkhorst | Nichols | Zaffirini
  • What it does: 
    • ​eliminates acquiring property as progress for a project that qualifies for eminent domain and thus repurchase of the property if the project isn’t moving
    • requires a condeming entity to meet 3 of 5 , instead of 2 of 7, elements that define project progress
  • What’s the hook? The talk of eminent domain being used for projects but then never coming to fruition. The worst of these: Kelo. The Kelo house land was never put to its intended use and was left unused for years.
