Establishes standards for judicial review of eminent domain proceedings, including requirements for de novo judicial review of public use and necessity determinations and strict construction of eminent domain statutes in favor of property owners.
This bill requires condemning authorities to prove in court that a taking is for a lawful public use and is reasonably necessary, rather than relying on their own declarations of necessity. It also allows property owners to recover attorney fees, costs, and expert witness fees if the government fails to justify the taking. The floor amendments (untimely) carved out Title 27, Section 7 (Utilities) and Title 52 (Oil&Gas) so those industries would not oppose the bill. This bill specifically targets OTA/ODOT.
