South Dakota would prohibit companies from using eminent domain (the government power to seize private land for public use) to build pipelines designed to transport carbon dioxide for underground storage or sequestration. This new law prevents pipeline companies from forcing landowners to sell or allow access to their property for carbon capture projects, even if the state normally permits eminent domain for other types of infrastructure.
