Gov. Kim Reynolds has vetoed a bill aimed at curbing eminent domain use by carbon capture pipelines and other infrastructure projects, saying the legislation is written too broadly and could damage economic development in Iowa. The veto, one of only a handful this year, deals a blow to the dozens of Republican lawmakers who supported the bill and to landowners who have shown up at the Iowa Capitol for years to call for greater restrictions on eminent domain. In a veto message included with her rejection of House File 639, Reynolds said, "I've consistently said that if eminent domain is used, it must be rare, fair and a last resort." "But HF 639 isn't just about eminent domain," she said. "It goes much further — and in doing so, sets a troubling precedent that threatens Iowa's energy reliability, economy and reputation as a place where businesses can invest with confidence."
