Date Requested April 25, 2018

Description:

H.R. 1689 would deny federal economic development assistance to state or local governments that exercise the power of eminent domain for economic development purposes. (Eminent domain is the right to take private property for public use.) The bill also would prohibit federal agencies from engaging in such practices. Private property owners would be given the right to bring legal actions seeking enforcement of those provisions, and the bill would waive states’ constitutional immunity to such suits.
