An Act amending Title 74 (Transportation) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in turnpike, further providing for acquisition of property rights by commission and for procedural requirements of acquisition, repealing provisions relating to entry and possession of property condemned and prohibiting condemnation by commission.

HB 2205 prohibits the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission from using eminent domain to acquire property for turnpike projects. The bill repeals a section allowing the commission to obtain possession of condemned property and amends the law to explicitly forbid condemnation by the commission for any purpose. This change directly affects property owners near turnpike corridors, requiring the commission to seek land through voluntary agreements instead of forced acquisition. The bill does not apply to ongoing or pre-existing condemnation cases that began before its effective date.
