    The department has the right of eminent domain in chapter 
 117.  The department may acquire by eminent domain or by 
 purchase any privately owned lands or interests in lands within 
 a project that it considers necessary for state ownership, use, 
 or development for the purposes of sections 84A.31 to 84A.42.  
 No money shall be used to acquire land or interest in it until 
 the department and the commissioner of finance determine that 
 the money will not be required to meet the requisitions of the 
 counties authorized under section 84A.33 or to pay certificates 
 of indebtedness and their interest.
