3 Reasons why Texans for Property Rights support Senator Kolkhorst’s eminent domain bills:
- Expand upon progress made in landmark 2011 eminent domain legislation
- Senator Kokhorst worked with the group and says the bills “…give[s] all landowners the new tools and safeguards they need to protect their land from eminent domain abuse”
- The Cattle Raisers say “Property owners continue to be at a huge disadvantage when navigating the condemnation process and these proposed reforms are a great step toward preserving our heritage of land ownership in Texas”
What does the Property Rights Group say the bill package does?
- Provides “for the reimbursement of landowner expenses if they are sued by a condemnor and are ultimately awarded significantly more than the final offer.”
- “Spell out the use and restriction details required within a condemnor’s “bona fide offer” to ensure the entity will properly use and maintain the property.”
