What it does
The PIPELINE Safety Act of 2025 would amend Title 49 of the U.S. Code to enhance pipeline transportation safety by reauthorizing funding for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), increasing annual appropriations for gas and hazardous liquid pipeline safety programs from fiscal years 2026 through 2030, and allocating portions of those funds for grants and implementation of the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002. The bill affects pipeline operators, federal and state regulators, and the public by modernizing safety standards, improving inspection and emergency response protocols, enhancing transparency through financial disclosures and public alert systems, and addressing emerging risks such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide transportation. It also includes provisions to strengthen whistleblower protections, cybersecurity, damage prevention programs, and oversight of pipeline infrastructure, including rights-of-way management and geological hazard assessments.
