SB 116, as introduced, Vidak. Eminent domain proceedings.
Under existing law, certain government entities are empowered to obtain private property for public use through the power of eminent domain proceedings. Existing law requires that eminent domain proceedings commenced by serving the summons by publication include, in addition to the summons, a description of the property sought to be taken.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to this provision.
