Pipeline Safety, Modernization, and Expansion Act of 2024

The Pipeline Safety, Modernization, and Expansion Act of 2024 establishes a confidential voluntary information-sharing system for pipeline operators to share safety data and improve industry-wide safety practices. It creates new safety zones for workers and the public during pipeline construction, repair, and maintenance activities. The bill also includes specific regulations for carbon dioxide pipelines, strengthens penalties for safety violations, and implements safety enhancement programs to modernize pipeline safety standards across the industry. These provisions directly affect pipeline operators, safety regulators, and communities near pipeline infrastructure.
