Missouri HB2169 modifies eminent domain provisions for utility purposes, specifically restricting the ability of public utilities and rural electric cooperatives to condemn property currently used by another utility provider for the same purpose. The bill allows condemnation only if it is necessary for acquiring a nonexclusive easement or right-of-way across the property. It also specifies that condemnation actions against municipal corporations must be brought in the county where the land lies.
