Bill: Eminent Domain Review
Details
Submitted by[?]: Majatran Socialist 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 2170
Description[?]:
| If the government needs to seize private property for vital works, we should not waste time having court approval. The government should not have to pay! Remember, all seizures shall be for the public good and this should be compensation enough for the patriotic citizen. Besides, we barely have private property these days so it makes little difference. |
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; victims can sue if they deem it unfair.
Proposed: The government does not compensate victims of eminent domain.
