Most Popular Texas Eminent Domain Bill

One eminent domain bill is becoming a media darling: HB 565 by Burkett. The bill revokes eminent domain authority from a private toll company.

Here’s why Burkett says it is important: 

• The problem is a private company overseeing a project with eminent domain authority (hello, pipelines, are you listening?)
• If property is taken for public needs, it should be “fair and transparent”
• Toll roads are wearing out their welcome
