Senate committee reports SB36, a carbon sequestration bill, out with amendment

3247669 · May 8, 2025

Summary

The Senate Committee on Natural Resources voted without objection to report Senate Bill 36 as amended; the measure, described as mirroring earlier legislation by Senator Reese, addresses carbon sequestration.

Chairman Henskins said the committee would take up Senate Bill 36 first and asked to keep the measure "close at hand" by reporting it "as amended." With no objections from committee members, the motion to report SB36 as amended carried and the committee clerk recorded supporting cards in the hearing record.

The bill was described by the clerk as providing "for carbon sequestration." Chairman Henskins told the committee the measure was a "carbon copy" of a bill earlier passed from the same committee during the first week of the session and that he wanted it on "subject to call" in case the Senate needed it later. No testimony or debate on substantive differences was recorded in the hearing.

Because the committee voted to report the bill as amended without objection, SB36 will move forward in the legislative process for further consideration by the full Senate.
