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 pipelines primarily intended for the transportation of carbon oxide. The legislation aims to restrict the use of eminent domain, which allows the government to take private property for public use, specifically in the context of carbon oxide pipelines.

By enacting this law, the state seeks to safeguard property rights and prevent the potential misuse of eminent domain in relation to carbon oxide transportation projects. This measure reflects a growing concern over environmental impacts and the implications of such infrastructure on local communities.
