SB 395: Natural resources: gas and oil; definitions in the crude oil and petroleum act; update. Amends sec. 1 of 1929 PA 16 (MCL 483.1). TIE BAR WITH: SB 394'25

SB 395 updates the definition of "carbon dioxide substance" in Michigan's oil and gas law to explicitly include CO₂ used in enhanced oil recovery operations or storage. This affects companies handling CO₂ for oil extraction and the Michigan Public Service Commission, which regulates these activities. The bill clarifies that carbon sequestration wells operating under existing environmental laws (Part 651 of the Natural Resources Act) are excluded from new regulatory requirements. It does not change existing pipeline rights or create new obligations, solely refining definitions for clarity.
