Eminent domain reform tools from The Reason Foundation

In the wake of the Supreme Court's Kelo vs. New London decision, The Reason Foundation has been inundated with requests from individuals as well as local and state policymakers, asking about reasonable measures to prevent misuse of eminent domain — especially for economic development projects.

The Reason Foundation and The reason Public Policy Institute have prepared a variety of tools that can serve as a starting point toward eminent domain reform:

• Sample municipal resolution calling for state/federal action
  • PDF format
    
  • WORD format
  
  
• Sample municipal charter provision/ordinance language
  • PDF format
    
  • WORD format
  
  
• Sample state legislation language
  • PDF format
    
  • WORD format
  
  
• A variety of supporting information and updates
