Summary
The bill sets a local‑approval requirement for any carbon‑sequestration project that transports or stores carbon dioxide outside the county where it is produced, unless the project is exempt. It defines key terms, makes the new rules subordinate to existing oil, gas, and coal rights, and ties project operation to a federal UIC Class VI permit. The measure failed to pass the Senate.
