Still feeling the aftershock of a controversial U.S. Supreme Court decision six months ago, state lawmakers have pre-filed at least a half-dozen bills that would change the state's eminent domain laws.
The federal high court decided 5-4 in late June that a city in Connecticut could take 15 homes as part of a larger economic development project.
Fairbanks Rep. Jim Holm hopes to prevent the same from happening in Alaska.
