Bill overview
This bill, the Reaffirming Constitutional Property Rights Act, aims to protect property owners’ rights by limiting the ability of companies with pipeline certificates to use eminent domain. Specifically, it prevents companies that have been granted permission to build natural gas pipelines for exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) to foreign countries from seizing private property through eminent domain. The bill seeks to ensure that property rights are upheld in situations involving LNG export pipelines. It modifies the Natural Gas Act to address this specific scenario.
