  • Amends condemnation proceedings law to limit attorney, appraisal, and engineering fee reimbursement to property owners in three scenarios: when condemnation fails, when proceedings are abandoned, or when jury award exceeds commissioner's award by at least 10 percent.

  • Requires condemning authorities to make written offers to property owners; if offer is rejected and jury award exceeds commissioner's award by 10 percent but falls below the written offer, owner may only recover fees for work completed before the offer date.
