Iowa House advances eminent domain bill on pipeline protests
The Iowa House Ways and Means Committee approved House File 2522 by 23 votes to zero amid clashes over private land seizures for carbon dioxide pipelines. The measure would let an affected landowner or applicant seek a pre decision court ruling on the legality of eminent domain before the Utilities Board finalizes its stance, with potential appeals to higher courts. Rep. Megan Jones abstained due to landowned interests. The bill aims to curb delays and financial strain by clarifying rights early in the process.
