This bill creates a new process requiring government entities or others seeking to take private property through eminent domain to first get an independent appraisal and attempt good faith negotiations before filing a condemnation lawsuit. Property owners will have the right to attend the appraisal of their property, and the condemnor cannot offer less than the appraised value during negotiations.
