Proposition 98 - Property Rights Protection
Farm Bureau co-sponsors this measure to protect private property from government abuse of property seizures through eminent domain. Proposition 98 is the only measure that will protect all private property, including homes, farms, businesses and churches. It allows for use of eminent domain for legitimate public projects, such as schools, roads and water projects, while ensuring full compensation for property seized.

Proposition 99 - Limited Protection of Owner-Occupied Homes.
Government agencies that seize property through eminent domain placed this measure on the ballot to try to block passage of Proposition 98. The measure would provide limited protection to some homes threatened with eminent domain, but does nothing to protect farms or other private property.
