HB 2854 - DIGEST

Provides that private property shall be taken by the state only for public use and no greater interest shall be taken than is necessary to accomplish the public use. "Public use" means only the actual possession, occupation, or enjoyment of the property by the general public or by the state; or the use of land for the creation or functioning of public utilities or common carriers such as railroads, utilities, or toll roads. The taking of private property by the state for economic development does not constitute public use.
