South Dakota Legislature is considering HB 1184 (2018) that will move cow manure through new pipelines.
3 Legislative fixes to secure private proeprty rights have been suggested:
- Provide for compensation to a landowner for the use of private property based on a royalty system
- Require a legislative finding that “a private landowner’s property rights may be infringed in order to preserve the general public welfare (not private welfare.)”
- Require the eminent domain process make a “finding that property rights may be imposed upon to preserve the general public welfare.”
