Lege TREND. Protecting Open Spaces by Prohibiting Eminent Domain.

Pennsylvania HB 2468 (2018 | PA) protects open space by making it harder to condemn land that is subject to a Conservation Easement.

How does this work?

• Land subject to a conservation easement cannot be condemned unless:
• An court says that eminent domain can be used
• A court can only say that eminent domain can be used if:
  • necessary for the health and safety of a community
  • no other reasonable and prudent alternative
