Legislature's 1 year Ban on Eminent Domain replaced with Stricter Eminent Domain Laws

In 2016, Georgia, the state and not the country, placed a 1 year moratorium on pipeline use of eminent domain. 

The restrictions that replaced the moratorium include:

  • requires greater disclosures from pipelines including evidence of financial responsibility
  • all parties can appeal administrative decisions, previously only companies could appeal
