Bill overview
This bill, the Landowners’ Right to Due Process in Rehearings at FERC Act of 2020, aims to strengthen the process for landowners challenging decisions made by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regarding natural gas pipelines. It establishes a 60-day deadline for FERC to respond to rehearing requests and prohibits construction-related activity and the use of eminent domain during this period unless a rehearing is granted. The bill also clarifies timelines for FERC to act on rehearing applications and addresses situations where the Commission lacks a quorum.
