South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has recently signed a bill into law that prohibits the use of eminent domain in CO2 pipeline projects. This legislation comes in response to concerns raised by landowners and environmental activists regarding the potential negative impacts of such projects. The bill was supported by the South Dakota Farmers Union and other agricultural organizations, who argue that landowners should have the right to refuse access to their property for projects they do not support.
The use of eminent domain in the context of CO2 pipeline projects has been a contentious issue in South Dakota and other states, as it allows private companies to seize private property for public use without the consent of the property owner. This new law aims to protect the rights of landowners and ensure that they have a say in whether their land is used for CO2 pipeline projects.
Governor Noem stated that she believes in property rights and that this law will help protect those rights for South Dakota landowners. The bill is seen as a victory for landowners and environmental activists who have been advocating for greater protections against the use of eminent domain in CO2 pipeline projects.
