Bill: Compensation Act on Compulsory Acquisitions (Eminent Domain) (RSA)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperial Democratic Coalition
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: January 2679
Description[?]:
| Though we don't support the FRP's bill, we see this as a half-way measure which may be supportable by many parties. Given compulsory acquisitions are a rare occurrence, we find it more just that the citizens be able to first suggest the price; with the government having recourse to the courts if necessary. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Eminent domain compensation (if eminent domain is legal).
Old value:: A neutral body appointed by the courts determines the compensation, either party may appeal.
Current: The government determines compensation for victims of eminent domain.
Proposed: The victim of eminent domain sets compensation, government can appeal to the courts if they deem the cost too high.
