PIERRE, (KCCR) — The 99th session of the South Dakota legislature is down to it’s final regular week next week. Bills relating to linear projects, specifically carbon dioxide pipelines have only a few days to get wrinkles ironed out before session ends. House Majority Leader Will Mortenson of Fort Pierre says he’ll get behind a final product that put’s the Public Utilities Commission in the driver seat…
Mortenson says most everyone agrees the P-U-C should have final say…
However for Mortenson the bill must protect farmers, ranchers and landowners..
A handful of linear project bills remain alive going into the legislature’s final week.
