SB201 facilitates the construction of carbon-capture pipelines that threaten property rights, permits state authorities to override local ordinances regulating the pipelines for safety or economic reasons, and fails to impose restrictions on eminent domain.
The South Dakota State Senate passed SB201 on March 6, 2024 by a vote of 24 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because state governments should not implement any aspect of the UN’s Agenda 2030, as it is unconstitutional and undermines state sovereignty. Additionally, this legislation advances the Marxist climate-change agenda and threatens property rights.
