Bill overview
This bill, titled the ‘Protecting Our Farmers from the Green New Deal Act,’ aims to limit the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) ability to approve construction or modification of electric transmission lines in states that oppose them. It specifically modifies the Federal Power Act to require FERC to consider state objections and ensure projects adequately compensate landowners and minimize harm to agriculture. The bill also restricts FERC’s review of applications if a state has previously denied a similar project or is currently reviewing one.
