Introduced Text

Ohio SB361 prohibits the use of eminent domain for recreational trails.

Ohio SB361 amends the Revised Code to exclude recreational trails from the definition of "public use" for eminent domain purposes. This means that public agencies cannot use eminent domain to take private property for trails intended for activities like hiking, bicycling, or horseback riding. The bill also defines terms such as "public agency," "private agency," and "public use" to clarify the scope of the prohibition.
