Bill: Compensation for Expropriated Property Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Centre Party of Gaduridos
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: May 2087
Description[?]:
| The government may use the power of eminent domain to expropriate private property, but only in a case of vital public necessity. This may include, but is not limited to, building of a new school, hospital, or highway in a badly underserviced community. Those whose land is expropriated have full rights to compensation, as set by the government and based on fair market value of the property. The landowners also have the right to appeal the amount of compensation, and to sue the government if the amount is felt to be too low. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Eminent domain compensation (if eminent domain is legal).
Old value:: The government does not compensate victims of eminent domain.
Current: The victim of eminent domain sets compensation, government can appeal to the courts if they deem the cost too high.
Proposed: The government determines compensation for victims of eminent domain; victims can sue if they deem it unfair.

| Message | Compensating the landowner is necessary. If the government does not provide compensation, the citizens may not be able to afford new housing, thus forcing them onto the streets. The last thing we need is homeless people gathering at our shopping centres, begging for spare change. |
