CONSERVATION: Authorizes parish governing authorities and citizens to determine whether Class VI injection wells, carbon dioxide sequestration, or carbon dioxide pipelines may be permitted within a parish. (gov sig) (OR SEE FISC NOTE GF RV)

Summary

The bill lets each Louisiana parish decide, through a local ordinance or a parish‑wide election, whether Class VI carbon‑dioxide injection wells, sequestration projects, and pipelines may operate within its borders. If a majority votes to ban them, the state department cannot issue any permits for those activities in that parish. The decision remains in effect for five years before another vote can be held.
