Bill overview
This bill modifies Oklahoma’s laws regarding eminent domain. It defines key terms like ‘abandoned property’ and ‘blighted property’ with specific criteria related to property code violations and tax delinquency. The bill significantly limits the use of eminent domain, prohibiting its use for economic development purposes and restricting local governments from expanding eminent domain powers without specific statutory authorization. It also establishes a process for reselling surplus property taken through eminent domain to the original owner or their heirs.
