Edgely Community Protection and Transparency Act

This bill changes the National Environmental Policy Act for federal projects that require an environmental impact statement and involve taking private property, including through eminent domain. The agency would have to estimate how much private property, such as acreage, would be acquired for the proposed action and for each alternative it studies. If the agency names a preferred alternative, it would have to state whether that option takes the least private property among the options studied. It would also have to explain how public comments about property acquisition were considered in choosing the preferred alternative.
