Proposes Constitutional amendment to limit exercise of eminent domain to acquisition of land for essential public purposes.

ACR 15 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit New Jersey government's power to take private property (eminent domain) to only "essential public purposes." It would remove current authority to take land specifically for "blighted area" redevelopment, which is currently permitted under the state constitution. The amendment would define essential public purposes to include utility corridors, schools, hospitals, transportation projects, waste facilities, and recreational sites. This change would prevent government from using eminent domain to acquire land solely to redevelop blighted neighborhoods, though it allows for tax exemptions for private redevelopment projects under specific conditions.
