Issue Position: Eminent Domain

Issue Position

Joining a growing chorus of concerned legislators, Assemblywoman McHose has signed onto a bill which would limit the eminent domain power of state and local government to acquire properties. The legislation would prohibit a government entity's ability to condemn private residences for economic development purposes.

"The courts have tampered with the private property rights of individuals by expanding the government's power to use, and potentially abuse, eminent domain," said Assemblywoman McHose. "This legislation protects state residents from the harmful effects of the court's decision."
