Bill > HB4214

This bill authorizes the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create and implement a legislative rule, specifically identified as 47 CSR 09B, which establishes a fee schedule for carbon dioxide sequestration. Carbon dioxide sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide to reduce its presence in the atmosphere and mitigate climate change. The bill confirms that a rule related to this fee schedule, filed with the State Register on July 24, 2025, and subsequently modified and refiled on December 29, 2025, to address objections from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee, is now officially authorized under the authority granted by section 22-11-10 of the West Virginia Code.
