This bill introduces a new section to South Dakota law that explicitly prohibits the exercise of eminent domain for the purpose of acquiring right-of-way, constructing, or operating a pipeline primarily intended for the transportation of carbon oxide. This legislation aims to restrict the use of eminent domain in relation to carbon oxide pipelines, ensuring that such projects cannot be advanced through the compulsory acquisition of private property.

By enacting this law, the state seeks to safeguard property rights and prevent the potential overreach of governmental powers in the context of environmental and energy infrastructure. The bill underscores a commitment to regulating the development of carbon oxide transportation methods while balancing the interests of landowners and the community.
