Eminent Domain to Protect Wildlife from Cars. Amend an Eminent Domain Bill When in Doubt.

New Mexico Legislature wants their Transportation Agency and Wildlife Agency to talk to each other to develop a transportation plan to protect wildlife from vehicles. 

Most likely solution? Wildlife underpasses

Why? Wildlife and motor vehicle accidents carry a $20 million per year cost to the state 

Legislatively how did this come about? An amendment to an eminent domain bill.
