SERVITUDES: Provides for the regulation of pipeline servitudes. (8/1/26)

This bill establishes a new state law to regulate pipeline servitudes, which are legal rights allowing pipelines to cross private property. It directly affects pipeline operators and landowners by clarifying that any duties or obligations for pipeline use must be explicitly stated in written contracts. The law defines what types of pipelines and substances are covered, including natural gas, oil, and other materials, and prevents courts from imposing additional responsibilities on operators beyond what is agreed upon in their contracts. The provisions apply only to claims and legal actions that arise after the bill takes effect, ensuring it does not impact past disputes.
