Current law provides for relocation assistance funds for those whose property is acquired by a local jurisdiction through eminent domain. However, a new law will address situations when agreement can’t be reached.
Sponsored by Rep. Denise Dittrich (DFL-Champlin) and Sen. Benjamin Kruse (R-Brooklyn Park) the new law, signed by Gov. Mark Dayton April 18, would provide an opportunity for an administrative judge hearing if an agreement can’t be reached.
The law would provide for a contested case hearing to determine whether a person is eligible to receive relocation assistance in the first place, if it is denied by the acquiring authority. The administrative law judge’s determination of the amount of the assistance would be final.
The law is effective April 19, 2012, and applies to relocation assistance claims and claims of eligibility for relocation assistance pending on or made after that date.
