Iowa SF92 restricts eminent domain for hazardous liquid pipelines unless landowners consent.

Iowa SF92 modifies the definition of public use, public purpose, or public improvement to exclude the construction of hazardous liquid pipelines for liquefied carbon dioxide or aboveground merchant lines. This means that utilities cannot condemn private property for these pipelines without the landowner's consent. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment and applies to condemnation proceedings filed after its effective date.
