House Bill No. by Representative Robby Carter aims to enhance safety and environmental protection by prohibiting the transport of carbon dioxide for sequestration within the same right-of-way as petroleum pipelines. The bill enacts a new section, R.S. 30:1116, which explicitly states that no pipeline transporting carbon dioxide for sequestration shall be located in the same right-of-way as any pipeline transporting petroleum products. This measure is intended to mitigate potential risks associated with the coexistence of these two types of pipelines.

The bill does not include any deletions from existing law but introduces new legal language to establish this prohibition. By clearly defining the separation of carbon dioxide sequestration pipelines from petroleum pipelines, the legislation seeks to address concerns related to safety and environmental integrity in pipeline operations.
