Rep. Will Mortenson

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

One of the most controversial issues lawmakers tackled this year was legislation regarding carbon capture pipelines.

The South Dakota Legislature passed Senate Bill 201, positioned as a compromise between opposing parties and a protection for landowner rights.

The bill has its critics. A group of concerned citizens is gathering signatures to refer the law to voters in the fall.

House Majority Leader Rep. Will Mortenson stopped by the SDPB studios for an in-depth conversation about the legislation.
