What this bill does
AI summary from the official description
This bill sets rules for the Utah Department of Transportation when it takes private property through eminent domain. It would require the department to identify each right or interest it is acquiring and assign a separate value to each, get a signed written acknowledgment from the property owner, and pay just compensation before taking the property. It would also limit the department's ability to build improvements that block an owner's visibility for a set period.
