A bill for an act relating to the exercise of eminent domain for carbon oxide pipelines, and including applicability and effective date provisions.

HF 2104 prohibits the use of eminent domain (government power to take private property) for pipelines primarily transporting carbon oxide. It directly affects pipeline companies seeking to acquire land for new pipelines by banning this specific method of land acquisition. The bill amends Iowa law to state that no person may exercise eminent domain for building or operating such pipelines, effective immediately upon enactment. This applies to all condemnation cases filed on or after the effective date, preventing new carbon oxide pipeline projects from using this legal process to secure right-of-way.
