Bill Summary

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. If approved by voters, this amendment would become part of the Alabama Constitution, and an election will be held to allow citizens to vote on its adoption, with the ballot question describing it as a prohibition on underground carbon dioxide injection and storage in the county.
