This bill requires hydrogen pipelines to be regulated and permitted by South Dakota's Public Utilities Commission, bringing them under the same oversight as other utility infrastructure. The bill expands the PUC's authority and removes certain exemptions that previously allowed some pipeline projects to proceed without state commission review.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
