WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (Reuters) — The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly Thursday to discourage the seizure of private property for private development by denying federal economic development money to local governments for two years if they take such a step.
The bill, similar to one being considered in the Senate, would bar the federal government, states and localities from using their power of eminent domain to seize property for projects like shopping centers or condominiums.
