(1) Any landowner who has received notice of condemnation or acquisition from the commission under Section 53-9-109 may, within fifteen (15) days following the notice, make written application to the commission for a formal hearing regarding the actual need or advisability for the acquisition. The commission shall hear the landowner's grievance within thirty (30) days following the written application for a hearing and shall make a determination as to the need for the acquisition. The commission's determination shall be reflected in an order, which may be appealed under Section 49-17-41. Any landowner adversely affected by any other action of the commission under Section 53-9-109 may institute proceedings to have the action reviewed in the chancery court in the county where the property or a part of the property affected by the action is located, provided that the proceedings are filed within thirty (30) days following the date of the action. The court may grant any relief it deems necessary, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief pending a hearing on the matter.

(2) Any landowner subject to condemnation proceedings for sale under Section 53-9-109 shall retain all rights and remedies of law provided by applicable federal and state laws governing condemnation proceedings and sale at public auction. Any landowner, his heir, assignee or personal representative shall have a prior right of purchase at fair market value or the lowest bid, whichever amount is more, over any other purchaser at the public sale provided the lands are put to proper use consistent with any local, state, or federal land use plan, if any, for the area in which the land is located.
