ENERGY: Authorizes the governing authority of Sabine Parish to determine whether carbon dioxide sequestration and pipelines transporting carbon dioxide may be permitted within the parish

Summary

The bill lets the Sabine Parish governing authority decide whether Class VI injection wells, carbon‑dioxide sequestration projects, and CO₂ pipelines may be permitted in the parish. Any local prohibition would block the state Department of Conservation and Energy from issuing permits, and the parish must notify the department of its decision. The measure failed after being involuntarily deferred in committee.
