The resolution establishes the Study Commission on Carbon Dioxide Storage Facility Fees in Alabama to evaluate the regulatory landscape surrounding the injection of carbon dioxide into underground wells. This initiative follows the passage of Act 2024-325, which set regulatory requirements for carbon dioxide storage in the state. The commission aims to balance the state's geological advantages and economic benefits with the need to protect natural resources, including drinking water, while also considering public consensus and the competitive landscape with other states.

The commission will consist of various appointed members, including representatives from the Alabama House and Senate, the Governor's office, and industry stakeholders. It is tasked with assessing current practices in other states regarding storage facility fees, determining the impact of these fees on market entry and competitiveness, and ensuring the protection of natural resources. The commission is required to submit a comprehensive report with findings and recommendations to the Legislature by November 1, 2026, after which it will be dissolved.
