There is an initiative out collecting signatures on eminent domain in California. This measure is a Constitutional Amendment that will require a "resolution of necessity" for eminent domain action; forbids the taking of private property for private use; and defines "Taken", "Damaged", "Public use", "Private use", "Public agency", "Just compensation", and "Prompt release".
Proponents of the initiative include:
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association
Senator Tom McClintock
Chris Norby - Orange County Board of Supervisors
To read the text of the initiative and letter of submission go here .
Article by Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association
This could set up a standard that the rest of the nation could follow, protecting private property rights for everyone in the US.
