Summary
The bill adds new definitions for carbon‑dioxide pipelines and public waters, then bars the Public Utilities Commission from granting any route permit for a CO₂ pipeline longer than 1,000 feet within the state or that travels over, under, or through public waters. It also prevents companies from applying for conditional exclusions or partial exemptions to these routing rules. The measure aims to limit large CO₂ pipeline projects in Minnesota.
