To oppose the use of eminent domain in West Virginia for private corporation benefit

HB 4910 prohibits West Virginia from using eminent domain to take private property for the primary purpose of economic development that would transfer ownership or control to a private corporation. It amends the state's eminent domain law by removing existing exceptions allowing private projects (like pipelines or commercial developments) and adding a new rule requiring property owners' consent for any taking where the primary purpose benefits a private entity. The bill specifically targets cases where private companies would gain ownership or control through mechanisms like purchase agreements or long-term leases, while still allowing eminent domain for traditional public uses like roads, schools, or utilities. This directly affects property owners and private corporations seeking to acquire land through eminent domain for commercial projects.
