The resolution expresses the South Dakota Legislature's strong opposition to the use of carbon dioxide pipelines, particularly the Summit Carbon Solutions project, and calls for an end to the exercise of federal eminent domain powers in this context. It highlights the state's preference for local governance free from federal intervention, citing a recent vote where South Dakotans rejected legislative efforts to expedite the pipeline's approval. The resolution emphasizes the need for transparency, community involvement, and thorough environmental assessments in large-scale infrastructure projects, while also raising concerns about the potential misuse of federal tax dollars in promoting carbon capture initiatives.

Furthermore, the resolution condemns the partnerships between government and private energy corporations under the guise of climate change initiatives, labeling them as detrimental to individual property rights. It urges the state to seek alternative solutions that respect property rights and community input, while opposing the use of state funds to promote carbon capture benefits that contradict the interests of landowners. The resolution concludes by urging President Trump to refrain from using federal eminent domain in states that have expressed opposition to such projects, reinforcing the state's stance against federal overreach in local matters.
