Private Property Rights Act of 2001

Summary

Private Property Rights Act of 2001 - States that the policy of the Federal Government is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public in a manner that, to the extent practicable, avoids takings of private property. Directs each Federal agency to: (1) complete a private property taking impact analysis before taking any agency action (including the promulgation of a regulation) which is likely to result in a taking of private property, with specified exemptions, including for actions in which the power of eminent domain is formally exercised, law enforcement actions, military activities, and emergencies involving immediate threats to health or safety; and (2) fully consider alternatives described in this Act and, to the maximum extent practicable, to alter the agency action to avoid or minimize the taking of private property. Allows the owner of private property, if an agency action results in the taking of such property, to obtain appropriate relief in a civil action against the agency. Directs the Attorney General to provide legal guidance in a timely manner in response to a request by an agency to assist it in complying with this Act. Creates a rebuttable presumption that unmodified analyses five years or older are outdated for purposes of any agency action or administrative or judicial proceeding.
