AI Summary
This bill amends existing Michigan law to regulate pipelines carrying crude oil, petroleum, or carbon dioxide substances, with a significant change being the exclusion of carbon capture projects and carbon dioxide sequestration projects from certain regulations, provided they meet specific definitions. The bill requires the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) to approve the construction and operation of all pipelines, including those for carbon dioxide, and mandates extensive applications detailing project purpose, market conditions, alternatives, environmental impacts, safety plans, and financial assurances. For carbon dioxide pipelines specifically, the bill requires detailed risk assessments and contingency plans, and it establishes specific setback distances from residential, commercial, and sensitive areas, as well as from state parks and natural areas. Additionally, operators of carbon dioxide pipelines will be subject to an annual fee based on pipeline length, with funds directed to a carbon dioxide sequestration fund.
