Eminent Domain Likely To Be A Topic During Upcoming Iowa Legislative Session

(Des Moines) — Iowa lawmakers are pushing for eminent domain reform amid debates over the Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline.

The Iowa House has supported restrictions on eminent domain, but Senate Republicans have blocked the bills.

Lawsuits by lawmakers aim to halt the pipeline, which faces opposition from landowners. With shifting public opinion and new candidates opposing the project, reform efforts may gain momentum next session.
