In all likelihood, none. Section 9(b) specifies that the bill doesn't apply to any cases in which condemnation proceedings were commenced before the bill's enactment.* If this bill or something close to it gets close to making it all the way through Congress, we'll see city and county attorneys thoughout the country scrambling to courthouses to get their cases filed before the enactment date.

It appears that the bill is partially retroactive in that it applies to condemnation proceedings commenced after enactment but before the bill's effective date.
