Bill Analysis
SB 1634 seeks to remove the Goforth Special Utility
District's power of eminent domain to condemn property
located outside the boundaries or service area of the district
unless the district exercises that power for a project the district
owns and operates.
Vote Recommendation Notes
SB 1634 seeks to limit the Goforth Utility District's power of eminent domain in a sensible manner. We support this legislation as an affirmation of our property rights principle.
