Summary

The legislation amends the 1929 Petroleum and Carbon Dioxide Pipeline Act to let the Michigan Public Service Commission oversee the construction, operation, and sale of crude oil, petroleum, and carbon‑dioxide pipelines. It excludes carbon‑capture and sequestration projects from the commission’s reach and requires commission approval before any new pipeline is built. The intent is to protect public health, safety, and the environment while clarifying who may operate pipelines.
