F SB1345

Claims; Henry Ridge. Provides an amount to be determined by the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner in relief for Henry Ridge. Mr. Ridge received additional payment for the Stafford County property upon which the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner exercised eminent domain. However, he received no interest award on the additional payment due to the interest rate applied by § 33.1-128 being negative. Section 33.1-128 was amended during the 2003 Session and made retroactive, but Mr. Ridge's situation still does not qualify for retroactive application of the amended section. Mr. Ridge is seeking the amount he would receive if he qualified for retroactive application of the amended section.
