Maine LD1675 updates eminent domain compensation for properties taken by transmission and distribution utilities.
Maine LD1675 revises the compensation process for property owners whose land is taken by eminent domain for transmission line construction, rebuilding, or relocation. The bill mandates that transmission and distribution utilities set aside 1% of their annual revenue from the operation of the transmission line to be paid as damages to affected property owners. These damages are to be distributed based on the number of acres taken and paid in annual installments. The bill also repeals certain sections of the Maine Revised Statutes to align with these changes.
