2010 House Bill 6223

Increase principle residence “takings” reimbursement

Introduced in the House

May 27, 2010

Introduced by Rep. Douglas Geiss (D-22)

To double the amount of extra payment that must be paid by a unit of government that takes a person’s principal residence under eminent domain, if the person buys another house in the same jurisdiction within 180 days. The normal extra homestead payment is the amount the person would have saved on the original home’s property taxes over five years under the Proposal A taxable value assessment cap. The bill would change that to the amount they would have saved over 10 years.
