Proposal for a legislative amendment to the Constitution prohibiting eminent domain takings

This bill proposes adding a new section to the Massachusetts Constitution to ban the use of eminent domain for private commercial or economic development projects. Under this amendment, the government would no longer be able to seize private property for such purposes, as these actions would not be considered a valid public use. The change would directly affect property owners by removing the legal mechanism that currently allows the state to take their land for private business ventures. If passed by the legislature and approved by voters, this measure would permanently alter the state's ability to acquire property for private economic gain.
