H.R.10135

Federal HB10135 prohibits the Federal Government from exercising eminent domain over agricultural land if a feasible alternative is available.

Federal HB10135, known as the "Not In My Barn Yard Act," prohibits the Federal Government from exercising eminent domain over agricultural land if a feasible alternative to the public use is available. This prohibition does not apply to exercises of eminent domain that commenced before the enactment of this Act. The term "agricultural land" includes land used for farming, ranching, forestry production, or timber production, but excludes land not exceeding ten acres in the aggregate if the annual gross receipts from the sale of farm, ranch, forestry, or timber products produced thereon do not.
