This bill amends Section 6A.22 of the Iowa Code by adding a new subsection that explicitly prohibits the exercise of eminent domain for the purpose of acquiring right-of-way, constructing, or operating pipelines primarily intended for transporting carbon oxide. This new provision aims to restrict the use of eminent domain in relation to carbon oxide pipelines, thereby protecting property rights against such acquisitions.

The bill is deemed of immediate importance, taking effect upon enactment. It applies to all condemnation proceedings for which applications are filed under section 6B.3 on or after the effective date of the Act, ensuring that the new restrictions are applied to future cases involving carbon oxide pipeline projects.
