WHAT’S NEXT

• Bills limiting governments’ ability to buy private property for public uses and rezone land move to the state Senate.

• It’s not clear how the Senate will react. It has acted on similar legislation that does not include the more controversial elements of the House-passed bill.

• Gov. Mark Sanford supports the limits, including requiring governments to pay landowners if rezoning diminishes property values.
