Summary of SF 2584 – Condemnation of certain land in Cass County appropriation and authorizing its transfer for non consideration

Basic information

  • Bill number: SF 2584 (Senate File)
  • Title: Condemnation of certain land in Cass County appropriation and authorizing its transfer for non consideration
  • Status: Referred to Environment, Climate, and Legacy (Senate committee)
  • Introduced: March 17, 2025
  • House companion: HF 1587

Purpose and intent

Based on the bill’s title, SF 2584 appears to authorize the condemnation (eminent domain) of a specified parcel or parcels of land located in Cass County, provide an appropriation related to that condemnation, and authorize the transfer of the condemned land without monetary consideration (i.e., “non consideration”). The combination of condemnation, appropriation, and transfer without compensation suggests a public project or objective pursued by a state or local public entity, with the land ultimately being transferred to another public entity or governing body for a public purpose. The exact project, entities involved, and terms are not provided in the summary.

Key provisions and potential changes (as implied by title)

  • Condemnation authorization: Permit the state or a public entity to condemn land in Cass County.
  • Appropriation related to condemnation: Allocate funds to support the condemnation process (e.g., purchase, relocation, or project costs).
  • Transfer without consideration: Authorize the transfer of the condemned land to another entity without requiring monetary payment to the landowner(s).
  • Public purpose alignment: The actions are likely tied to environmental, climate, or legacy objectives given the committee designation (Environment, Climate, and Legacy).

Note: The actual text would specify the parcel(s) affected, the public entity exercising eminent domain, the transferee, the project purpose, any relocation or property rights protections, and any conditions or timelines. These details are not included in the provided information.

Affected parties

  • Landowners in Cass County potentially facing condemnation and loss of property.
  • Public entities (state or local agencies) authorized to condemn and acquire land, and to transfer it without compensation.
  • General public and stakeholders benefiting from the public project or environmental/climate objectives linked to the transfer.

Procedural and timeline considerations

  • Introduced and first reading: March 17, 2025.
  • Committee action: Referred to Environment, Climate, and Legacy; subsequent steps would involve hearings, potential amendments, and committee votes.
  • Progression path: If advanced, SF 2584 would need passage in the Senate, coordination with its House companion HF 1587, and any final conference actions before becoming law.

Key questions for stakeholders

  • Which parcel(s) in Cass County are subject to condemnation, and what is the stated public purpose?
  • Who would be the condemning entity and who would receive the land after transfer?
  • What does “non consideration” entail in this context, and how are landowners protected (relocation, due process, notification)?
  • What are the environmental, climate, or legacy implications intended by this transfer?
