HF943 addresses the use of eminent domain for the construction of hazardous liquid pipelines, specifically targeting carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects. The bill stipulates that such pipelines cannot utilize eminent domain to condemn agricultural land unless the landowner provides explicit consent. This measure aims to protect property rights and limit the forced acquisition of land for private energy infrastructure.

The Iowa State House of Representatives passed HF943 on March 26, 2025 by a vote of 82 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because by limiting the use of eminent domain for carbon pipelines, the bill defends private-property rights and resists the global climate agenda. Such policies often align with globalist efforts such as the UN’s Agenda 2030, which undermine state sovereignty, individual liberty, and the U.S. Constitution. HF943 would reinforce due-process protections under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments and restore proper limits on government power.
