Read the Bill. Expedite Eminent Domain, but only for commercial property.

Los Angeles will be hosting the 2028 Olympics and the Clippers need a new stadium. What is a state to do? Pretend we’re working in a cartel cocaine processing room and sampling our own product? Yes, in a way, by expediting the permiting process to build stadiums more quickly.

How is the bill expediting the process?

• By exempting from full environmental review any “rail, bus, or transit project connected to the 2028 Olympics, along with expediting environmental challenges to construction of the Clippers arena in Inglewood.”
• Allowing for easier eminent domain for the Clippers stadium- except when it comes to residential property. Commerical property owners beware.
