A local constitutional amendment for Coosa County to market carbon credits from Forever Wild properties, requiring at least 50% of such property in the county to be on a carbon credits marketplace and directing income to the county's General Fund.
It would require the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to market carbon credits for at least 50% of Forever Wild Land Trust property located in Coosa County. Any income from these carbon credits would be credited to the General Fund of Coosa County instead of the state General Fund. The change applies only to Coosa County and would become effective by January 1, 2025, with an election held to approve the amendment.
