Terms Used In Iowa Code 479.12
- Board: means the utilities board within the utilities division of the department of commerce. See Iowa Code 479.2
- Pipeline: means a pipe, pipes, or pipelines used for the transportation or transmission of a solid, liquid, or gaseous substance, except water, within or through this state. See Iowa Code 479.2
- Precedent: A court decision in an earlier case with facts and law similar to a dispute currently before a court. Precedent will ordinarily govern the decision of a later similar case, unless a party can show that it was wrongly decided or that it differed in some significant way.
The board may grant a permit in whole or in part upon terms, conditions, and restrictions as to safety requirements and as to location and route as determined by it to be just and proper. Before a permit is granted to a pipeline company, the board, after a public hearing as provided in this chapter, shall determine whether the services proposed to be rendered will promote the public convenience and necessity, and an affirmative finding to that effect is a condition precedent to the granting of a permit.
