This bill introduces a new section to the existing law, specifically RSA 79, which prohibits the enrollment of state and county-owned lands 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." This amendment aims to ensure that public lands are not utilized for such carbon sequestration initiatives.

The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an approval date of May 8, 2026, and an effective date of July 7, 2026. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, as the bill solely focuses on the insertion of the new prohibition regarding public land enrollment in timber carbon sequestration programs.
