Bill > SB2028

This bill requires that any notice of a transfer of an interest related to carbon credits or carbon sequestration, which are essentially rights to store carbon dioxide, must be officially recorded in the same way that land ownership documents are recorded in Mississippi. This is to ensure transparency and provide public notice, similar to how deeds for real estate are handled. The bill also brings forward existing Mississippi laws (Sections 89-5-1 and 89-5-3 of the Mississippi Code of 1972) that govern the recording of land conveyances, making them available for potential future amendments, and clarifies that these recording requirements apply to carbon credit or sequestration interests to establish priority and prevent disputes among creditors and subsequent purchasers.
