AI Summary

This bill prohibits the construction of new natural gas compressor stations within 0.5 miles of certain sensitive locations, such as playgrounds, schools, and environmental justice neighborhoods. It also exempts repairs or replacements to existing compressor stations from this restriction, as long as they do not increase the station's capacity.
