A BILL THAT WILL PROHIBIT EXERCISE OF EMINENT DOMAIN FOR THE USE OF A CARBON CAPTURE PIPELINE IS HEADING TO GOVERNOR LARRY RHODEN’S DESK.
HOUSE BILL 10-52 PASSED IN THE SENATE ON A 23-12 VOTE.
EMINENT DOMAIN IS THE PROCESS OF TAKING PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR PUBLIC SERVICES.
THE PASSAGE OF THE BILL CAPS OFF A YEARS-LONG EFFORT BY ANTI-PIPELINE LANDOWNERS AND LEGISLATORS TO RESTRICT CARBON DEVELOPERS LIKE SUMMIT CARBON SOLUTIONS FROM BRINGING CONSTRUCTION TO SOUTH DAKOTA.
SUMMIT CARBON IS STILL WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING A PERMIT FROM STATE REGULATORS TO BUILD ITS NEARLY NINE-BILLION-DOLLAR PIPELINE THAT WOULD RUN THROUGH SOUTH DAKOTA AND FOUR SURROUNDING STATES.
