Sec. 119.004. LIABILITY. (a) The transfer of title to the state under Section 119.002 does not relieve an owner or operator of a clean coal project of liability for any act or omission regarding the generation of carbon dioxide performed before the carbon dioxide was captured.
(b) On the date the commission acquires the right, title, and interest in carbon dioxide captured by a clean coal project under Section 119.002, the owner or operator of the clean coal project is relieved from liability for any act or omission regarding the carbon dioxide injection location, and the method or means of performing carbon dioxide injection, if the injection location and method or means of injection comply with the terms of a license or permit issued by the state and applicable state law and regulations.
(c) Notwithstanding Subsection (b), no owner, operator, or contractor of the clean coal project is immune from liability for personal injury or death that results from construction of the site, or drilling or operation of the injection wells.
