South Dakota is expanding its pipeline safety rules to include biogas gathering lines—the pipelines that carry gas produced from biomethane sources to larger gas pipelines. The bill adds a new definition of "biogas gathering line" to the state's existing gas pipeline safety law so these facilities are now subject to the same safety standards and Public Utilities Commission oversight as traditional gas pipelines.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
