AN ACT relating to geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide.

Summary

The bill sets up rules and permits for building and operating underground CO2 sequestration sites and assigns the Energy and Environment Cabinet to oversee them. It protects the rights of land, mineral and water owners and applies to new projects and to oil or gas wells that are converted, but not to CO2 used for enhanced oil recovery. The goal is to allow long‑term carbon storage while safeguarding public safety and natural resources.
