This bill updates South Dakota's pipeline safety law to clarify definitions and correct outdated references to federal pipeline regulations. The changes streamline the definitions of key terms like "emergency release," "gas," and "gas pipeline facilities" to remove redundant language and improve clarity for the Public Utilities Commission in enforcing pipeline safety inspections. These are technical updates to state law to ensure it properly aligns with current federal pipeline safety standards.
