AI Summary

This bill prohibits the use of eminent domain, which is the government's power to take private property for public use, for pipelines whose main purpose is to transport carbon oxide, a gas that is a byproduct of industrial processes and a contributor to climate change. This means that companies cannot force landowners to sell their property for the construction or operation of such pipelines. The bill takes effect immediately upon being signed into law and applies to any legal actions to condemn property for these pipelines that are initiated on or after that date.
