2011 House Bill 1036: Concerning a municipality’s right to condemn real property due to a threat to public health, safety, or welfare
Introduced by Rep. Roger Goodman (KirkLand) (D) on January 10, 2011
To modify municipalities’ use of eminent domain to expressly include the condemnation of real property that is a threat to public health, safety, or welfare. Within 120 days of the passage of this act, owners of real property that is currently subject to this type of condemnation action may file an appeal in superior court to determine whether the property is a threat to public health, safety, or welfare. The court will make a final determination on the condemnation action and if the court finds the defect curable, the property owners will have a reasonable time to correct the problem. If the property owners cannot cure the deficiency within the time set forth by the court, the municipality can proceed with the condemnation. (Companion: SB 5078).   Official Text and Analysis.
Referred to the House Judiciary Committee on January 10, 2011
