Release of CO2; creating CO2 victim lien; specifying terms; providing for perfection of lien; providing for termination of lien. Effective date.

SB 1018 creates a "CO2 victim lien" for people directly affected by CO2 pipeline ruptures or leaks within a 25-mile "kill zone." Victims (including residents, property owners, or those dependent on affected water sources) automatically gain a legal claim against the pipeline owner's assets for all damages incurred. To enforce this claim, victims must file a standard UCC-1 form with their county clerk within one year of the incident, giving the lien retroactive priority over other claims; they must also file a termination statement within 30 days if the claim is settled or waived.
