Senator Rusty Black files bill on electric-utility transmission and property rights
Summary
Senate Bill 139, sponsored by Sen. Rusty Black, would create provisions relating to electric utilities and aims to protect property rights against large transmission lines.
Senator Rusty Black, identified in the briefing as the sponsor of Senate Bill 139, introduced a measure this week that would create provisions relating to electric utilities.
"Our primary concern here is safeguarding personal property rights in Missouri as these large transmission lines go, across our state," Black said, describing the bill's focus on landowner protections tied to transmission infrastructure.
The briefing noted the bill's stated emphasis on property rights; it did not detail statutory language, appropriation amounts, committee referrals, or next steps for SB139 in the legislative process.
