Bill overview
This bill proposed a constitutional amendment to Massachusetts that would prohibit the government from using eminent domain to take private property, even for public projects. The aim was to strengthen property rights and limit the government’s ability to seize land for redevelopment or other purposes. The amendment failed to pass the Massachusetts Senate. This was the sixth attempt to pass a similar amendment in the state.
