SB 2008: Carbon credits or sequestration; require recorded instrument to convey.
SB 2008 requires that any transfer of carbon credit or sequestration rights must be recorded as a land interest in county land records, following existing Mississippi law for property conveyances. This applies directly to landowners and entities involved in carbon credit agreements, ensuring their rights have legal priority over later claims. The bill updates existing recording requirements (Sections 89-5-1 and 89-5-3 of Mississippi Code) to specifically include carbon-related interests, making their recording mandatory for enforceability. It takes effect July 1, 2025, and does not create new rules but applies current land recording procedures to carbon credit transactions.
