not be taken ‘‘for public use, without just compensa-
tion’’. 
(2) Rural lands are unique in that they are not 
traditionally considered high tax revenue-generating 
properties for State and local governments. In addi-
tion, farmland and forest land owners need to have 
long-term certainty regarding their property rights 
in order to make the investment decisions to commit 
land to these uses.

includes an overnight stay) during which such indi-
vidual is more than 50 miles away from home in 
connection with such services.’’.

this section shall apply to taxable years beginning after
