Environmental protection: air pollution; petroleum and carbon dioxide pipeline act; exclude carbon capture projects and sequestration projects and provide conditions for pipeline approval. Amends title & secs. 1, 3 & 11 of 1929 PA 16 (MCL 483.1 et seq.) & adds secs. 13 & 15. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0822'26, SB 0824'26, SB 0825'26, SB 0826'26, SB 0827'26

This bill expands Michigan's existing pipeline regulations to include carbon dioxide pipelines while explicitly excluding carbon dioxide capture and sequestration projects from oversight. It requires the Michigan Public Service Commission to approve all new pipelines transporting crude oil, petroleum products, or carbon dioxide substances, with applications needing detailed analysis of public safety, environmental impact, and alternative routes. The legislation grants the commission authority to regulate pipeline construction and operation but exempts private producers and specific carbon dioxide projects from these requirements.
