Bill: Eminent Domain Reform (2603)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Normand Pluralist Party
Status[?]: defeated
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 2604
Description[?]:
| If we must live under the barbaric principle of eminent domain, it should be reformed to be more fair for its victims, and the government given less incentive to steal the land of indivuals. Additionally, this will bring costs down, as a neutral body will be appointed only in cases where the government objects to the proposed price. There may be cases where individuals will off the government land for much less than it would objectively be evaluated to be worth. |

Current: The victim of eminent domain sets compensation, government can appeal to the courts if they deem the cost too high.
