AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 164 of the General Laws to require natural gas pipeline companies to meet certain conditions before they can submit a petition to the Department for survey access or enter upon lands for survey access preliminary to eminent domain proceedings. Specifically, the bill requires the natural gas pipeline company to have been issued a certificate of public convenience and necessity under federal law or any required certificate or approval under state or local law, and to have secured a final, unappealable adjudication of an order granting the applicable certificate. The bill also subjects any petition filed under this section to an adjudicatory hearing before the Department.
