This would directly affect any entity or individual seeking to use underground wells for carbon dioxide storage (including projects involving Class VI wells under federal EPA regulations) in that county. The bill requires voter approval through a statewide election to become part of Alabama's constitution, as it amends the state constitution rather than enacting immediate law. If approved, the prohibition would take effect as a permanent constitutional restriction.

HB 306 would create a temporary teaching certificate for military veterans seeking to teach in Alabama K-12 schools. It would allow veterans with 48 months of honorable military service to qualify for a temporary license if they have 60 college credits (2.5 GPA), pass a state teaching exam, and meet other requirements. The certificate would be valid for five years (non-renewable) and require mentorship for two years, but time teaching under it wouldn’t count toward regular certification. If passed, this bill would directly affect veterans transitioning to teaching careers in fields typically requiring a bachelor’s degree.
