Ohio Eminent Domain Bill. Landowner Veto.

What’s happening? Ohio is considering a bill from its last legislative session, this legislative session. This repeat bill would prohibit eminent domain from recreational trails and also allow landowners to veto the use of eminent domain bu their local government. HB 63 (2021 | OH)

Why is this important? A perennial call by legislators is to level the playing field when an entity seeks to take property backed by the power of eminent domain.

How will this be important? Landowner rights are more American than apple pie. When one state adopts a measure like this, it will spread.
