SB 2880 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Carbon credits or sequestration; require recorded instrument to convey.

SB 2880 requires that any transfer of carbon credit or carbon sequestration interests must be recorded as a land interest following Mississippi’s existing land recording laws (Sections 89-5-1 and 89-5-3 of the Mississippi Code). This applies directly to landowners, farmers, and businesses holding or transferring carbon credits or sequestration rights. The bill ensures these interests gain legal priority through the same public recording process used for property deeds, preventing disputes over ownership. It would have taken effect July 1, 2025, but died in committee on February 4, 2025.
