Wojnovich Pipeline Safety Act of 2025
HR 6187, the Wojnovich Pipeline Safety Act of 2025, establishes a $100 million annual grant program to fund safety upgrades for hazardous liquid pipelines owned by municipalities or community-owned utilities. It requires states to mandate real estate disclosures about nearby pipelines in property contracts and creates a new $2.5 million annual penalty for operators failing to report leaks (doubling to $5 million if delayed by 15 days). The bill also mandates localized emergency alerts within one mile of pipelines and creates a community trust fund using penalty payments to reimburse emergency responders for costs related to pipeline incidents. These provisions directly affect pipeline operators, property sellers, and local emergency response agencies.
