Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Reenacts a Section concerning fast-track rulemaking for the Clean Air Act. Defines a "fast-track" rulemaking proceeding and defines "requires to be adopted" and "federally required". Provides that when the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 or another federal statute or regulation requires rules other than identical in substance rules to be adopted, upon request by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Pollution Control Board must adopt rules under fast-track rulemaking requirements. Sets out the form for a fast-track rulemaking proposal. Provides that in any fast-track rulemaking proceeding, the Board must accept evidence and comments on the economic impact of any provision of the rule and must consider the economic impact of the rule. Sets out the procedure for a fast-track rulemaking. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that the provisions concerning the Clean Air Act rules apply through December 31, 2013. Deletes provisions concerning the promulgation of federally required rules.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Deletes a provision requiring the fast-track rule requirements if a federal statute or regulation other than the Clean Air Act requires rules.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces the substantive provisions of the bill. Provides that there is no rulemaking authority under the amendatory Act, but that the Governor may suggest rules required to be adopted by the State under the federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) by filing them with the General Assembly and requesting that the General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact the suggested rules into law, or take other appropriate action in the General Assembly's discretion.
