Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that eminent domain is an important tool for govern- ment to move forward on important public projects. However, there needs to be a thorough examination to determine how public projects that are primarily economic development projects affect homeowners. There needs to be a balance between the needs of society and the constitutional power of government to exercise its eminent domain powers, and the constitutional liberty and property rights of the people. S 2. A temporary state commission, to be known as the commission on eminent domain reform, hereinafter referred to as the commission, is hereby created to examine, evaluate, and make recommendations concerning the scope and effectiveness of the eminent domain procedure law and the legislature's grant to certain public and other entities to exercise the power of eminent domain. Specifically the commission shall examine at least the following: (a) the appropriate constitutional standard for condemnation proceedings used for the economic development where private homeowners are affected; and (b) the procedural fairness of the eminent domain procedure laws. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD06909-01-1
