AN ACT
To reform eminent domain

Quote
Section 1: Title

This legislation may be cited as the Frémont Eminent Domain Reform Act.

Section 2: Just compensation, prohibition on private transfer of ownership to new private individuals

1. Just compensation shall be no less than the value of the property taken, lost profits and lost access, and damages to the residue caused by the taking.

2. Lost profits and Lost Access shall be determined by a panel of 3 federal judges in the Circuit Court of Appeals district in which the lawsuit has been filed. The burden of disproving the claimed losses shall be on the condemner.

3. Public use shall not include being used solely for private enterprise, job creation, tax revenue generation, or economic development. A public service company, public service corporation, or railroad exercises the power of eminent domain for public use when such exercise is for the authorized provision of utility, common carrier, or railroad services.

Section 3: When condemnation allowed

1. The Government of the Commonwealth of Frémont is hereby prohibited from taking private property through condemnation, unless that government offers just compensation and the property being taken is needed for public use.
Sponsor: Scott, FM

The first minister has the floor.

I'll support this; eminent domain should only be invoked when absolutely necessary, and the scenario described by the first minister is clearly corrupt.

Are there any objections to this, or are we ready for a vote?
