House Resolution, Study Commission on Carbon Dioxide Storage Facility Fees established

This bill establishes a Study Commission on Carbon Dioxide Storage Facility Fees to examine how Alabama should set fees for underground carbon dioxide storage facilities. The commission will include representatives from the state legislature, executive branch, energy industry, and environmental groups, with an initial meeting scheduled for July 2026. Its primary task is to review how other states handle storage fees and determine what fee levels would balance economic competitiveness with environmental protection. The commission must submit a final report with findings and legislative recommendations to the Alabama Legislature by November 2026 before dissolving.
