What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the prohibition against certain entities, such as a county

board, a village board, or the Department of Transportation, using the power of

condemnation to acquire land or interests in land for the purpose of establishing or

extending bicycle lanes or certain pedestrian ways. Current law prohibits exercising

condemnation power to acquire land or interests in land for the purpose of

establishing or extending recreational trails, bicycle lanes, bicycle ways, or

pedestrian ways.
