South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley welcomed North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley’s decision not to pursue legal action over South Dakota’s law banning eminent domain for carbon pipelines. Wrigley had previously considered litigation, citing concerns about the law’s impact on North Dakota’s pipeline access, but ultimately concluded there was no legal basis for a lawsuit.
Jackley credited their long-standing professional relationship and open communication for helping resolve the issue amicably. He emphasized that South Dakota’s law reflects the will of voters and lawmakers, and reaffirmed his commitment to defending private property rights.
