Proposition 99

Eminent Domain. Acquisition of Owner-Occupied Residence. Constitutional Amendment.

June 03, 2008

 


This constitutional amendment limits state and local government’s use of eminent domain in certain circumstances. Specifically, the measure prohibits government from using eminent domain to take a single-family home (including a condominium) for the purpose of transferring it to another private party (such as a person, business, or association). This prohibition, however, would not apply if government was taking the home under certain specified circumstances.
