What it does
The California Constitution permits private property to be taken or damaged for public use only when just compensation is paid. The Eminent Domain Law prescribes how that constitutionally authorized power may be exercised and permits that exercise only for a public use. The law provides that if the Legislature provides by statute that a use, purpose, object, or function is one for which the power of eminent domain may be exercised, that is deemed to be a declaration that the use, purpose, object, or function is a public use.
