Summary
Private Property Protection Act of 1995 - Requires the Federal Government to compensate a property owner whose use of that property has been limited by an agency action, pursuant to a specified regulatory law and that diminishes the fair market value of that property by 33.3 percent or more, for that diminution in value. Prohibits compensation from being made under this Act if the use limited by Federal agency action is proscribed under the law of the State in which the property is located (other than a proscription required by a Federal law, either directly or as a condition for assistance). Provides that if a use is a nuisance as defined by the law of a State, that use is proscribed for the purposes of this Act. Prohibits compensation from being made under this Act with respect to: (1) an agency action the purpose of which is to prevent an imminent and identifiable hazard to public health and safety or damage to specific property other than the property whose use is limited; or (2) an agency action pursuant to the Federal navigational servitude. Sets forth the procedures by which a property owner may seek compensation under this Act.

- amends ← An amendment (numbered 17 as printed in the Congressional Record) to provide that compensation would not be paid if the agency involved has prepared a "private property impact assessment" for the particular regulation or other agency action, prior to taking the action. Such analyses would consist of a written statement including an assessment of the action's likely effect on private property values, whether it would result in a taking of private property under the Fifth Amendment, alternatives that would achieve the same objective without affecting private property values, and other information. The amendment, in effect, would write into law Executive Order #12630 except that, under the amendment, the agency analyses would be made available to the public. The amendment specifies that property owners still could seek compensation through the courts under the Fifth Amendment.
- amends ← An amendment to specify that the amount of compensation provided for in the bill for a private property "taking" will be reduced by an amount equal to any increase in over all value of the property as a result of any agency action.
- amends ← An amendment (numbered 6 as printed in the Congressional Record and made in order under the rule) in the nature of a substitute to make certain technical changes and clarifications; to specify that compensation would be required in cases where the affected portion of a private owner's property (as opposed to the whole property) loses at least 10% of its value; and, to state that it is federal policy "that no law or agency action should limit the use of privately owned property so as to diminish its value," and to direct federal agencies to ensure that their actions will not have such results.
- amends ← An amendment to raise the minimum threshold for payment of compensation under the bill from a 10% to 20% loss in property value.
- amends ← An amendment to strike the provisions of the bill designating a source of payments for takings under the bill. The thrust of the amendment strikes the specification that any compensation required under the measure would be paid from annual appropriations available to the federal agency involved.
