Covington County; underground carbon dioxide prohibited; constitutional amendment
AI Summary
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment for Covington County that would prohibit any person from injecting, storing, or sequestering carbon dioxide underground, specifically including the operation of Class VI wells, which are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Safe Drinking Water Act to manage underground injection.
