On Tuesday, April 29, the Louisiana House Committee on Natural Resources & Environment held a hearing involving 10 carbon capture and storage (CCS) bills, beginning at 9 a.m. with only a midday recess to attend the floor session, where they resumed until 10 p.m. when the hearing finally concluded. Read the descriptions of each bill heard on The Energy Law Blog here.

Of the 10 bills heard, SB 73 was the only one to receive a favorable vote out of committee. HB 75 and HB 568 were deferred and are expected to be reset for a hearing next week. The remaining bills were voted down in committee.
