A bill for an act relating to easements for hazardous liquid pipelines, including negotiation requirements, eminent domain authorization, and contract execution, and including effective date, applicability, and retroactive applicability provisions.

Summary

The bill sets a step‑by‑step process for hazardous liquid pipeline projects, demanding public informational meetings, detailed written notices, and a commission‑approved template easement before any land can be taken through eminent domain. It applies to pipeline companies operating in Iowa, especially for routes longer than 20 miles, and is intended to protect landowner rights while still allowing energy projects to move forward.
