prohibit the exercise of the right of eminent domain for the construction of certain facilities.
SB 49 prohibits the use of eminent domain to acquire private property for constructing certain facilities in South Dakota. This bill directly affects government entities and private landowners by restricting the state's power to take property for specific projects without voluntary agreement. The key provision prevents forced acquisition of land for these designated facilities, requiring landowners to consent to any transfer. The legislation aims to protect private property rights by limiting the circumstances under which the government can exercise eminent domain.
