What’s in it

AI summary Pipeline companies would no longer be able to use eminent domain to take private land for hazardous liquid pipelines. This change affects any company that does not already have a permit from the Iowa utilities board. The Iowa utilities board would lose the power to grant these land-taking rights to these companies.1
