A bill for an act relating to damages incurred due to releases of carbon dioxide from liquefied carbon dioxide pipelines or carbon dioxide facilities and including effective date provisions.

HF 413 creates a legal right for people harmed by carbon dioxide leaks from pipelines or facilities to sue the operator for damages. It covers anyone within 25 miles of a leak (including residents, travelers, or property owners) who can file a claim within one year of the incident. The bill makes operators strictly liable for all damages, including punitive awards, and ensures victim claims take priority over other debts. It also requires operators in bankruptcy to hold assets in trust for victims for one year after operations end. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
