This bill would give landowners the right to buy back their property if it was taken through eminent domain for a highway project but ended up not being used after that project was completed. Under current law, there is no such guaranteed right to repurchase, so this change would create a new legal option for affected property owners. Who it may affect: landowners whose property was condemned for highway projects.
