What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows certain entities, such as a county board, village board, or the

Department of Transportation, to use the power of condemnation to acquire land or

interests in land for the purpose of establishing or extending recreational trails,

bicycle ways or lanes, or pedestrian ways. Current law prohibits the exercise of

condemnation power to acquire land or interests in land for those purposes.
