Proposal 06-4
A proposed constitutional amendment to prohibit government from taking private property by eminent domain for certain private purposes
The proposed constitutional amendment would:
- Prohibit government from taking private property for transfer to another private individual or business for purposes of economic development or increasing tax revenue
- Provide that if an individual's principal residence is taken by government for public use, the individual must be paid at least 125% of property's fair market value
- Require government that takes a private property to demonstrate that the taking is for a public use; if taken to eliminate blight, require a higher standard of proof to demonstrate that the taking of the property is for a public use
- Preserve existing rights of property owners
