(1) Common carriers of crude petroleum, coal, or the products of crude petroleum or coal or of carbon dioxide from a plant or facility that produces or captures carbon dioxide shall make and publish their tariffs under rules that may be prescribed by the commission. The commission shall require the common carriers to make reports and may investigate their books and records kept in connection with the business.
