The NC Senate Republicans gave initial approval to putting three constitutional amendments on the November ballot. One of those amendments seeks to restrict eminent domain powers. An eminent domain amendment has been approved by the NC House five times since the 2005 U.S. Supreme Court Kelo decision. The proposed amendment provides that private property cannot be taken for eminent domain except for a public use and that just compensation shall be paid and determined by a jury at the request of any party.
