Bill overview
This bill, titled the Protecting Our Farmers from the Green New Deal Act, aims to prevent the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) from approving new electric transmission lines in states that oppose them. It modifies the Federal Power Act to require FERC to consider state objections and ensure that projects adequately compensate landowners and minimize harm to agriculture. The bill also restricts FERC’s ability to approve applications that have been previously denied or are currently under review by a state authority.
