Relating to the exercise of the power of eminent domain by a political subdivision to take private property outside the political subdivision's boundaries.

SB 27 prohibits political subdivisions (like cities or counties) from using eminent domain to take private property located outside their own boundaries. The bill adds a new provision to the Texas Government Code stating that such takings are not allowed, regardless of other laws. This applies only to condemnation petitions filed on or after the bill's effective date, with existing cases governed by prior law. The law aims to restrict where local governments can exercise eminent domain authority.
