This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

The California Constitution permits private property to be taken or damaged for public use only when just compensation is paid. The Eminent Domain Law prescribes how that constitutionally authorized power may be exercised and permits that exercise only for a public use. The law provides that if the Legislature provides by statute that a use, purpose, object, or function is one for which the power of eminent domain may be exercised, that is deemed to be a declaration that the use, purpose, object, or function is a public use. This bill would make nonsubstantive, technical changes in these provisions.
