Eminent domain bill advances to Senate


The Missouri House has given approval to a bill that would prevent private companies from using eminent domain. The bill, HB 1062, sponsored by Rep. Jim Hansen, was written to head off construction of the Grain Belt Express power transmission line, which would run through eight Northern Missouri counties. The Missouri House spent time Tuesday discussing the importance of protecting private property rights. Thursday’s vote that advances the bill to the Senate was 115-35.
