Private Property Rights
This year four bills protecting private property rights were signed into law! Senate Bills 78 and 115, which together prohibit a private corporation from condemning private property for a private toll road; House Bill 1003, which describes requirements that must be met before a corporation can construct a private toll road; and House Bill 1411, which raises the standard for governments seeking to condemn the homes, small businesses and property of Colorado residents. This legislation represents significant strides in protecting our homes and businesses from unnecessary condemnation, but more work needs to be done.
The legislators who sponsored these bills deserve our thanks!
