Section 1 provides that a foreign or domestic railroad company may not exercise eminent domain power over a property interest of certain Hennepin County government agencies if the agency finds and resolves that public safety or first-responder access will be substantially and adversely affected by the railroad company taking. 

Section 2 gives the section retroactive effect from March 2, 2015, and applies it to any eminent domain action to acquire land owned by the named entities.
