SERVITUDES: Provides for the regulation of pipeline servitudes. (8/1/26)
Read second time by title and referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.
Summary
The bill creates a new statute that defines pipelines and operators and says that any right of use for a pipeline must follow the contract terms, not default civil code rules. It prevents courts from adding extra duties for pipeline operators beyond what the contract specifies. This change affects pipeline companies, landowners, and anyone entering servitude agreements.
