The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5054, seeks to amend titles 8 and 32 of the general statutes to prohibit state and municipal governments from exercising eminent domain for specific commercial purposes. This legislative change aims to protect private property rights by restricting the government's ability to seize land for commercial development, thereby ensuring that eminent domain is not used to benefit private enterprises at the expense of property owners.

The bill does not specify the exact commercial purposes that would be prohibited under this amendment, but it emphasizes a clear intent to limit the scope of eminent domain. By doing so, it aims to safeguard individuals and businesses from potential government overreach in property acquisition for commercial gain.
