Check out the Senate bill proposed by VA State Senator Mark Obenshain! Try finding it at his website www.markobenshain.com under SJ 3 or get it at my wiki !
The bill deals with reform to Virginia's Eminent Domain process. Obenshain is trying to create and pass a VA Constitutional Amendment to refine the scope of the Virginia Government power to assume private land for public use. In his own words Obenshain said:
"The Property Rights Amendment will secure property rights against the whims of state and local governments, ensuring that private property can only be taken for legitimate public uses -- not for shopping centers or transfer to another private property owner in the name of economic development. And it will guarantee that when the government does take property, it actually provides "just compensation," taking into account lost profits and loss access."
