Plain-language change summary

The updated version of SB 35 includes specific language clarifying that both private and public entities now have the power of eminent domain to acquire property for the purpose of connecting customers to utility services. This change is important because it broadens the situations in which property can be taken for public use, potentially impacting property owners more than before. The amendment aims to ensure that utility providers can serve their customers effectively, even if it means acquiring land against the owner's will.
