CONSERVATION: Provides relative to construction of pipelines on certain water bodies. (8/1/26) (OR -$1,142,000 GF RV See Note)

SB 62 prohibits the construction of carbon dioxide pipelines within the boundaries of Lake Maurepas and Lake Ponchartrain in Louisiana. The bill explicitly bans pipelines built "for the purpose, in whole or in part, of transporting carbon dioxide" in these two water bodies. This directly affects any entity seeking to build such pipelines in these specific lakes. The bill is currently prefiled and under consideration but has not yet been enacted.
