EXPROPRIATION: Provides relative to expropriation. (8/1/24)

This bill modifies existing rules regarding the government's power to take private property for public use, specifically within the energy sector. It creates an exception to standard expropriation limits for transmission or generation projects that are part of a multi-state regional plan or deemed necessary by independent system operators for grid reliability. The change directly affects utility companies and energy infrastructure developers by clarifying when their projects can proceed under these specific federal or regional coordination frameworks. By adding this language, the legislation ensures that critical energy projects approved by regional bodies are not blocked by the usual restrictions on property taking.
