Eminent domain; prohibiting use of eminent domain for certain energy projects and facilities. Emergency.

SB 994 prohibits the use of eminent domain to take private land for new wind, solar, battery storage, hydrogen, or carbon capture facilities. It directly affects landowners by protecting their property from government seizure for these energy projects and energy developers by restricting their ability to use eminent domain for such construction. The bill amends Oklahoma's eminent domain law (27 O.S. §7) to specifically exclude these facility types from being built through government seizure. This applies only to new projects on private property, not existing facilities or other energy infrastructure.
