Legal and Regulatory Policy Analyst, Daren Bakst, says “North
Carolinians need a property-rights amendment that will define public
use, prohibit takings for private use, require just compensation up

resort,” according to a recently released Spotlight.
In it, Bakst suggests language for a state constitutional amendment
doing just that. The policy paper comes as the
N.C. House’s Select Committee on Eminent Domain begins researching N.C. statutes on the issue.
