Summary
The bill would make carbon‑dioxide storage operators send permit petitions and supporting data to the local governments that control the land, let those governments comment and attend the state board hearing, and impose a per‑ton fee on CO₂ injected that is split between the state and the county or municipality. It also creates a study commission to examine the fee structure and its impact on the industry and environment.
