Edgely Community Protection and Transparency Act

Key Points

• This bill changes how the government plans big projects that need to buy or take private land. Agencies would have to clearly show how much private property they expect to take for every version of a project they are considering.
• If the government picks a favorite plan, they must state whether that plan takes the least amount of private land compared to other options. This helps the public see if the government is trying to minimize the impact on homeowners and land owners.
• The bill also requires agencies to explain how they used public feedback about land seizures when making their final decisions. This aims to give communities a bigger voice when the government uses its power to take property for things like new roads or buildings.
