Eminent domain; purchase price; effective date.

HB 1152 increases compensation for property owners facing eminent domain in Oklahoma. It requires acquiring agencies to offer at least 150% of a property's fair market value appraisal (not just the market value) before negotiations, and prohibits counting value increases caused by the public project itself (like a new highway) when calculating compensation. Property owners must receive a written explanation of the offered amount, and they cannot be forced to surrender property before payment. The bill directly affects homeowners, businesses, and landowners whose property is acquired for public projects like roads or infrastructure. It takes effect November 1, 2025.
