Bill Summary
Relative to natural gas pipeline eminent domain takings. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to amend the Massachusetts General Laws by removing provisions related to the use of eminent domain for natural gas pipeline projects. Specifically, it strikes out the words "or gas" from Section 64R of Chapter 164, and it annuls Sections 75C and 75D of Chapter 164, which previously authorized the use of eminent domain for natural gas pipeline construction. The intent of these changes is to restrict the government's ability to seize private property for the purpose of building natural gas pipelines.
