What’s in it

This bill relates to liquid hazardous pipeline voluntary easement negotiation requirements. The bill requires a pipeline company (company) applying for a permit and negotiating a voluntary easement to first acquire signed, witnessed, and notarized written permission from an affected landowner. Upon consent being granted, a company or company’s agents shall not exceed two communications per month with a landowner unless the landowner waives the restriction through written permission. Violations of the bill shall be reported to the Iowa utilities board (board) which shall set a public hearing.

Read the full explanation

If the board finds a violation has occurred, the board shall fine the company $1,000 per violation and collect and deliver the amount to the affected landowner. The bill provides an affected landowner a cause of action against a company in violation of the provisions of the bill. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
