Our bill is the strongest proposal yet on pipeline safety in the House, and I believe it will afford more protections to those who live and work near pipelines in our country. I am optimistic that with co-sponsors from around the country, we will see a renewed effort for pipeline reform.
People have a right to know where pipelines are located.
Pipelines need to be inspected more often. Sensible steps need to be taken to prevent accidents. OPS and pipeline operators must be held accountable. There's no excuse for further inaction. Enhanced Community Right to Know Pipeline operators would be required to better compile data and make the data widely available to the public.
