Save My Louisiana, Inc. v. State

Louisiana residents and landowners and the organization Save My Louisiana, Inc. filed a lawsuit in Louisiana District Court charging that Louisiana laws providing for “eminent domain and expropriation of private property” for carbon dioxide pipelines and wells for carbon dioxide injection violated the Louisiana and U.S. Constitutions. The six laws challenged in the suit were enacted between 2008 and 2024. The plaintiffs asserted that the laws constituted unconstitutional takings, unconstitutional delegations of authority, and due process violations, and also improperly granted special privileges and immunities to carbon storage operators.
