SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Condemnations by the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner. Provides that the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner is not permitted to force relocation on improved owner-occupied property until the owner is permitted to withdraw the funds represented by the certificate filed with the Court. However, if the owner refuses to withdraw the funds represented by the certificate filed with the Court or if the Commissioner reasonably believes that the owner does not possess clear title to the property being taken, that ownership of the property is disputed, or that certain owners cannot be located, the Commissioner may petition the Court to establish that the owner does not possess clear title, that the ownership of the property is in dispute, that certain owners can not be located, or that the owner has refused to withdraw the funds represented by the Certificate filed with the Court, and request that the Commissioner be given authority to force relocation.
