The bill amends the Uniform Condemnation Procedures Act by updating the provisions regarding jury trials for just compensation. It allows either a plaintiff or defendant to demand a jury trial, specifying that the jury must consist of six qualified electors selected under the revised judicature act of 1961. The bill also clarifies that the jury is governed by court rules applicable to civil cases in circuit court. Additionally, it mandates that there must be a separate trial for just compensation concerning each parcel unless good cause is shown otherwise.

The bill includes several changes to the existing legal language, such as replacing "shall consist of" with "must be" and "shall be" with "are," as well as updating the references to the selection process and applicable laws. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4091 and will take effect one year after it is enacted into law.
