Environmental protection: air pollution; regulation of carbon sequestration; provide for. Amends sec. 1301 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.1301) & adds subch. 6 to ch. 3 of art. III. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0823'26, SB 0824'26, SB 0825'26, SB 0826'26, SB 0827'26

This bill proposes amendments to Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to establish a regulatory framework for carbon sequestration activities. It directly affects businesses and organizations engaged in carbon capture and storage by creating specific legal requirements and oversight mechanisms for these operations. The legislation adds a new subchapter to the existing environmental law that would define standards, procedures, and responsibilities related to carbon sequestration projects. By integrating these provisions into state law, the bill aims to provide a structured approach to managing carbon sequestration within Michigan's environmental protection system.
