Lege TREND. Quick Takes. Eminent Domain Just Compensation ACT.

Justin Amash (R-MI) filed the Eminent Domain Just Compensation ACT to prevent federal taking of land before final fair market value has been finalized.

So what would this impact?

• potentially the amount of compensation for fair value determinations
• when the land can be taken by the government
  • currently the land can be taken before a final determination of compensation
  • this bill requires a final determinationof compensation before the government can take possession (and presumably use) of the land.
