A bill for an act relating to pipelines transporting liquefied carbon dioxide, including permit renewal and operation limitations.

SF 225 prohibits the Iowa Utilities Commission from renewing permits for pipelines transporting liquefied carbon dioxide and sets a maximum 25-year operational limit for such pipelines. The bill directly affects pipeline companies seeking to operate CO2 pipelines in Iowa and the commission responsible for issuing permits. It amends existing law to explicitly ban permit renewals and ensure no CO2 pipeline operates beyond 25 years, reinforcing a current 25-year limit already in place for all pipeline permits. The legislation does not change the existing 25-year cap but specifically prevents renewal for CO2 pipelines.
