ENERGY: Requires advance notice to surface and mineral owners prior to permitting or performing carbon dioxide sequestration activities (RE NO IMPACT SG EX See Note)

HB 585 requires state agencies to provide advance written notice to surface and mineral owners before permitting or conducting carbon dioxide sequestration activities (storing CO₂ underground). The bill specifically mandates that the department publish each application for a Class VI or Class V permit related to CO₂ sequestration on its website. This applies to projects involving underground storage, ensuring landowners are notified before permits are issued. The bill does not change the permitting process itself but adds transparency by requiring public notice of applications. It directly affects mineral and surface rights holders who may be impacted by underground CO₂ storage projects.
