Pipeline Fairness, Transparency, and Responsible Development Act of 2023
This bill requires pipeline applicants to provide landowners with detailed, written notices 90 days before they can legally intervene in federal approval proceedings. It mandates clear explanations of eminent domain risks, intervention procedures, and the necessity of intervention to preserve future legal challenges. The bill also requires independent appraisals of property before compensation offers are made, sets minimum compensation at fair market value, and prohibits taking possession until payment or court deposit occurs. Additionally, it coordinates environmental reviews for multiple pipeline projects in the same area and strengthens public meeting requirements during environmental assessments.
