History of HB 878
(Eminent Domain Amendment)
On March 15, a bipartisan bill
to protect our private property from unjust seizure by governments
was introduced in the N.C. House. Four days later this bill,
HB 878, was referred to the Committee on Rules, Calendar, and
Operations of the House. It is still stuck in that
committee.
House Bill 878 has a total of 96
sponsors and co-sponsors. This means that 80% of House members
have signed onto this legislation. 80% of House members have
sponsored HB 878 -- and yet the legislative leadership has not
brought it to the floor for a vote. The bill was not
discussed at the Rules Committee's May 1 meeting.
