Local Government Approval of Transmission Infrastructure

Summary

The bill would stop investor‑owned electric utilities from starting condemnation of private land for new high‑voltage transmission projects until every required local permit and final project design approval is obtained. It protects landowners and gives counties, cities and towns more control over where transmission lines are built. The measure failed to pass.
