This bill introduces a new section to the existing law that explicitly prohibits state and county-owned lands from participating in timber carbon sequestration projects. The new legal language states that "No fee simple ownership lands owned by the state or by a county shall be enrolled in a timber carbon sequestration program," which is inserted as section 79:38 in RSA 79. This amendment aims to ensure that public lands are not utilized for such carbon sequestration initiatives.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but focuses solely on the insertion of the new prohibition regarding public land enrollment in timber carbon sequestration programs. Additionally, the act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, allowing for a brief period before the new regulations are enforced.
