SB2842

SB2842 prohibits carbon dioxide pipeline operators from using eminent domain in Illinois.

SB2842 amends the Carbon Dioxide Transportation and Sequestration Act to clarify that a certificate of authority does not grant pipeline operators the right to use eminent domain. The Illinois Commerce Commission must consider various factors, including economic impact, public safety, and environmental concerns, before granting a certificate. The bill also outlines specific conditions for obtaining a certificate, such as obtaining necessary federal permits and coordinating with local governments.
