Section 18-1B-1 Statement of legislative intent. In light of the decision and certain opinions
recently announced by the United States Supreme Court interpreting the extent of the power
of government to take property for public use as described in the Fifth Amendment to the United
States Constitution and providing that individual states may restrict the exercise of that
power, the Legislature intends in enacting this chapter and amending Sections 11-47-170 and

power of eminent domain may not, the aforesaid recent interpretation of the Fifth Amendment
to the contrary notwithstanding, use the power to take the private property of any person
for the private use of another, as opposed to the use thereof by the public generally, except
as and in the limited circumstances set out in this chapter and Sections 11-47-170 and 11-80-1.
