## Text

September 29, 2015 House Bill 64 - 131st General Assembly It is the declared policy of this state that the availability of eminent domain on behalf of educational institutions of higher education is in the public welfare. A private college, university, or other institution of higher education may therefore apply to the chancellor of higher education for the right to appropriate property when such institution is unable to agree with the owner or owners of the subject property upon the price to be paid for the property. The institution shall be one that any educationally qualified member of the public who desires to attend has, or can acquire, a right to be admitted upon equal terms without discrimination. The institution shall certify to the chancellor, in its application, that the use of the property to be appropriated is to be for educational purposes, including student housing and dining facilities, that reasonable efforts have been made to purchase the property, and that it will be used without discrimination against any person or group and be equally available to all qualified persons. The institution also shall submit to the chancellor its plans for the use of the property and such other information as the chancellor may require. The chancellor may, thereafter, and upon a determination that the intended use is in the public interest, approve the application by resolution. Upon such approval, the institution may appropriate the property in the same manner as is provided for the appropriation of property in Chapter 163. of the Revised Code.
