Kentucky Legislator Pre-Files Bill to Address Eminent Domain for Bluegrass Pipeline
“A Western Kentucky lawmaker has pre-filed a bill to clarify Kentucky’s eminent domain law. The topic has been the subject of much speculation over the past few months, as a company seeks to build a natural gas liquids pipeline across Kentucky. The developers of the Bluegrass Pipeline say they believe they have the right of eminent domain under Kentucky law, but numerous others including the legal counsel of the Energy and Environment Cabinet and the Kentucky Attorney General disagree.
The bill was filed by Representative John Tilley of Hopkinsville.”
