IN RE: | SB2 by Averitt (Relating to the ownership and use of carbon dioxide captured by a clean coal project.), As Introduced |
The bill would provide title to the Railroad Commission to carbon dioxide acquired through a FutureGen clean coal project. Although the agency could produce revenues from the sale of such carbon dioxide, no significant fiscal impact is expected to result from the bill's enactment until at least 2012, when construction of the FutureGen project would be complete.
The bill would take effect on September 1, 2006.
