Why it Matters
Members of the Iowa General Assembly are seeking to enact legislation protecting and restoring individuals’ property rights while pushing back against eminent domain.
House Study Bill 507 (HSB 507) was introduced by the House Judiciary Committee. If enacted, it would end eminent domain for carbon-capture pipelines. In other words, HSB 507 would be a major step toward protecting and restoring property rights in Iowa.
HSB 507 was introduced in response to three carbon capture pipelines that were proposed. One of the companies pushing these pipelines is working with Blackrock and its CEO Larry Fink, one of the most powerful groups/people worldwide that is pushing an extreme, “woke” agenda. Last year, legislators passed House File 639 (HF 639), which also would have banned eminent domain for carbon-capture pipelines, but Governor Kim Reynolds vetoed it.
The carbon-capture pipelines are closely connected to the UN’s Agenda 2030 “sustainable development” scheme to eliminate private property and totally reshape society in the name of fighting “climate change.”
Under current Iowa law, these companies have the ability to use eminent domain to confiscate land from farmers and others in order to build the pipelines. This comes despite the fact that these pipelines are entirely private and will not directly benefit the public. Furthermore, some of the companies that would profit are foreign-based and have troubled histories.
Urge your state legislators to support HSB 507 and stand up for property rights in Iowa.
