AI Summary
This bill updates the existing law regulating crude oil, petroleum, and carbon dioxide substances transportation by modifying definitions and clarifying rights for businesses operating pipelines and related infrastructure. The bill expands the definition of "carbon dioxide substance" to include gaseous or liquid substances primarily composed of carbon dioxide that will be used in storage or enhanced hydrocarbon recovery operations. It also broadens the definition of "person" to include various types of legal entities like individuals, corporations, and governmental organizations. The bill preserves existing rights for businesses operating pipelines and related infrastructure, with two specific exceptions: rights that were valid as of March 27, 1929, and operations related to carbon sequestration wells under Michigan's natural resources and environmental protection act. The legislation aims to provide more clarity around the rights and regulations governing the transportation and storage of crude oil, petroleum, and carbon dioxide substances, and it requires the passage of companion bills to take effect. The bill is subject to a tie bar with Senate Bill 394, meaning both bills must be enacted for this legislation to become law.
