4 Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Safety
5 Moratorium on Carbon Dioxide Pipelines Act.
6 Section 5. Legislative findings. The General Assembly
7 finds and determines that:
8 (1) the State has pipelines being proposed by
9 companies for the purposes of capture, transportation, and
10 subsurface storage of carbon dioxide both within the State
11 and from locations outside the State;
12 (2) Section 30 of the Carbon Dioxide Transportation
13 and Sequestration Act, which provides that the regulation
14 of the construction, maintenance, and operation of
15 pipelines transporting carbon dioxide shall be within the
16 statutory and regulatory jurisdiction of the Pipeline and
17 Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) of the
18 federal Department of Transportation, shall be relevant to
19 this Act; and
20 (3) in response to a major carbon dioxide pipeline
21 failure in Satartia, Mississippi in 2020 that resulted in
22 local evacuations and caused almost 50 people to seek
23 medical attention, PHMSA conducted an investigation of the

19 Section 15. Temporary statewide moratorium on construction
20 of carbon dioxide pipelines.
