I was reading the AJC last night and it turns out that there is a bill (senate bill 86 I believe) that restricts the use of eminent domain in the state of GA to public use only. This bill has already passed the senate and is in the house waiting on approval. This bill was introduced long before the supreme court ruling so hopefully it will get some much needed attention and be passed into law. There was a bill (senate bill number 5) which was introduced prior to senat bill 86 which eased the restrictions for eminent domain in the state of GA and it was overwhelmingly defeated by the senate and never made it to the house.
