Effects of this bill
If this bill passes, it means that:
The Chief Executive can evacuate people from land; they must arrange temporary accommodation for those moved.
This power applies if the Chief Executive believes land subsidence may endanger the public.
Owners can only claim compensation for expenses to prevent or mitigate subsidence damage if the improvements or goods already exist.
