SB816,,33Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill allows certain entities, such as a county board, village board, or the Department of Transportation, to use the power of condemnation to acquire land or interests in land for the purpose of establishing or extending recreational trails, bicycle ways or lanes, or pedestrian ways. Current law prohibits the exercise of condemnation power to acquire land or interests in land for those purposes.
