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, and it applies to all condemnation proceedings initiated after the effective date. This means that any applications filed under section 6B.3 for condemnation related to carbon oxide pipelines will be subject to this new restriction.
