ND | NESD FARM - 11/16/2024 13:40 That was the point of SB201 that became referred law 21. The bill allowed the 3 member puc to override any local ordinance. I expect there will be several bills introduced to severely restrict the construction of pipelines in the state this year.
South Dakota's defeat of the Referred Law 21, means the pipeline does not have free reign. Good news for those who don't want eminent domain, and preserves personal property rights. Summit will still apply for a permit, and we don't know how that will turn out. |
