Relating to authorizing the Department of Environmental Protection to promulgate a legislative rule relating to carbon dioxide sequestration fee schedule.

HB 4214 authorizes West Virginia's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to implement a specific fee schedule for carbon dioxide sequestration projects. The bill formally approves a legislative rule (47 CSR 09B) that the DEP previously developed and modified to address legislative committee concerns. This rule establishes fees for companies using carbon dioxide sequestration (a method of capturing and storing CO2 emissions underground). The policy directly affects businesses engaged in carbon sequestration projects within West Virginia by requiring them to pay these standardized fees. The bill does not create new fees but authorizes the DEP to enforce the existing fee schedule.
