Revising laws on the use of eminent domain related to carbon capture projects

LC 900 proposed revisions to eminent domain laws to allow government takings of private land for carbon capture projects. The bill would have directly affected landowners and developers of carbon capture infrastructure by altering the legal process for property acquisition. However, the bill was drafted in 2024, placed on hold multiple times, and ultimately died in committee on May 23, 2025, without becoming law. No policy changes were enacted through this bill.
