CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 850

---

Introduced by Senator Umberg

February 17, 2023

---

An act to amend Section 1240.040 of the Code of Civil Procedure, relating to eminent domain.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 850, as introduced, Umberg. Eminent domain: general limitations.

The California Constitution permits private property to be taken or damaged for public use only when just compensation has first been paid to, or into court for, the owner of that property. The Eminent Domain Law provides that a public entity may exercise the power of eminent domain only if it has adopted a resolution of necessity, as specified.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
