South Dakota will prohibit companies from using eminent domain to build pipelines that transport carbon dioxide or hydrogen, even if they obtain other required permits and approvals. The bill also clarifies that utility companies using eminent domain for transmission lines are not automatically granted federal eminent domain rights. This removes eminent domain authority specifically for carbon dioxide and hydrogen pipelines while preserving it for other types of pipelines and transmission lines.
