Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

415 ILCS 5/9.10

415 ILCS 5/10

from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1010

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. In a Section regarding the control and reduction of emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating plants, provides that the Section is not intended to limit or restrict the authority of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to propose, or the Illinois Pollution Control Board to adopt, any regulations applicable or that may become applicable to these facilities that are required by federal law or that are otherwise part of the State's plan to attain the national ambient air quality standards or that are necessary to comply with the requirements of the federal Clean Air Act (now, just the applicable regulations required by federal law). Deletes a provision requiring the Board to adopt certain sulfur dioxide regulations and emission standards for existing fuel combustion stationary emission sources. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2

	Deletes reference to:
	415 ILCS 5/9.10

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Gives the Illinois Pollution Control Board the express authority to adopt (instead of not restricting the Board from adopting) regulations and emission standards concerning stationary emission sources that are (i) required by federal law; (ii) otherwise part of the State's attainment plan and are necessary to attain the national ambient air quality standards; or (iii) are necessary to comply with the requirements of the federal Clean Air Act. Effective immediately.

	Fiscal Note (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency)
	SB 1419 would not have any fiscal impact on the Illinois EPA. However, the State could potentially face federal sanctions if this bill is not enacted and the CAIR rule is not adopted.
