A bill for an act relating to statutory considerations involving the atmosphere and climate.
HF 302 amends Iowa law to remove language requiring consideration of reducing petroleum dependency or atmospheric contamination from agricultural energy policies. It specifically prohibits the Iowa Utilities Commission from factoring climate change into decisions about granting hazardous liquid pipeline permits. The bill changes two statutory sections: one eliminates references to reducing fossil fuel combustion impacts in agricultural energy support, and the other explicitly bans climate change as a consideration for pipeline permits. This directly affects the commission's permitting process for pipeline projects and the state's statutory framework for energy policy.
