Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Carbon Dioxide Transport by Pipeline Act. Contains only a short title provision.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Carbon Dioxide Transportation and Sequestration Act. Provides that the Illinois Commerce Commission shall administer the process for the issuance of a certificate of authority for the limited grant of authority for the construction and operation of a carbon dioxide pipeline. Provides that no person or entity may construct, operate, or repair a carbon dioxide pipeline unless the person or entity possesses a certificate in good standing. Provides that no person shall begin or continue construction of a carbon dioxide pipeline unless the person possesses a certificate in good standing. Provides that the Act shall apply only to an owner or operator of a pipeline designed, constructed, and operated to transport and to sequester carbon dioxide produced by a clean coal facility, clean coal SNG facility, clean coal SNG brownfield facility, or any other source that will result in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from that source. Defines terms. Provides that a carbon dioxide pipeline owner shall construct, maintain, and operate all of its pipelines, related facilities, and equipment in the State in a manner that poses no undue risk to its employees or the public, and that the Commission shall adopt federal safety regulations governing the construction, maintenance, and operations of carbon dioxide pipelines, related facilities and equipment to ensure the safety of pipeline employees and the public. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 3
Deletes everything after the enacting clause and reinserts the bill as amended, with the following changes: makes a change to a provision concerning legislative purpose; makes a change to a provision concerning applications, reduces the maximum approved project route width from 500 feet to 200 feet; provides that the Illinois Commerce Commission shall make its determination on any application filed and issue its final order within 11 months (instead of 6 months) after the date that the application is filed; removes provisions concerning extensions for issuing a final order on an application filed up to an additional 3 months if certain conditions are met; deletes language that empowers the Commission to establish an expedited schedule for making its determination on an application filed; provides that if a written objection is filed, then the Commission shall issue an order either granting or denying the route deviation within 60 days after the filing of the objection; deletes language that provides that a certificate of authority grants authority to use, occupy, and construct facilities in any designated public right-of-way for the construction and operation of the carbon dioxide pipeline subject to the laws of the State; and makes other changes. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 4
Removes all language concerning certificates of good standing and consolidated applications. Makes other corresponding changes.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes everything after the enacting clause and reinserts the engrossed bill with the following changes: deletes all references to "clean coal SNG brownfield facility"; provides that the Commission, after a hearing, may (instead of shall) grant an application for a certificate of authority authorizing the construction and operation of a carbon dioxide pipeline if it makes certain written findings; provides that an application for a certificate of authority shall include a map of the route or route width; provides that the Commission's failure to act within 11 months after the date that the application is filed shall be deemed a denial of the application; provides that the Commission shall not issue its final order until the applicant is in receipt of valid permits from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Illinois Department of Agriculture, in addition to any other necessary permits for construction; makes changes to provisions concerning supplemental applications for minor route deviations and the approval process for such applications; provides that the Commission shall not issue any certificates or permits allowing the construction of a carbon dioxide pipeline until it has adopted federal safety regulations governing the construction, maintenance, and operations of carbon dioxide pipelines, related facilities, and equipment to ensure the safety of pipeline employees and the public; makes other changes. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that the Commission's failure to make its determination on any application for a certificate of authority and issue its final order within 11 months after the date that the application is filed shall not be deemed an approval or denial of the application (instead of being deemed as a denial of the application). Provides that a final order of the Commission granting a certificate of authority pursuant to this Act shall be conditioned upon the applicant obtaining all required permits or approvals from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Illinois Department of Agriculture, in addition to all other permits and approvals necessary for the construction and operation of the pipeline prior to the start of any construction. Provides that the final order must specifically prohibit the start of any construction until all such permits and approvals have been obtained.
