Protecting Our Farmers from the Green New Deal Act

This bill amends federal law to give states more control over where electric transmission lines are built. It requires that any proposed transmission project must minimize harm to farmers and landowners, provide adequate compensation for any damage, and show that consumer benefits outweigh agricultural impacts. The bill also prohibits the federal energy agency from reviewing or approving a project if a state has already denied a similar application or is actively considering one. This directly affects farmers, landowners, and state regulators by shifting siting authority to states and adding new requirements for project developers. The bill does not address the Green New Deal itself, but focuses solely on transmission line siting rules.
