Dole bill seeks compensation for landowners hit by rules
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and 32 co sponsors filed a bill to require the federal government to pay landowners when regulations or actions cut property value by at least a third. The measure would set up claims procedures and require agencies to analyze costs and pick the least burdensome alternative. Critics warn of potential high costs, but supporters call it budget neutral and necessary to balance takings with property rights. The bill drew praise from the National Association of Home Builders, which cited losses under endangered species and wetlands rules.
