AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 3227

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 3227 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by adding Section 9.14 as follows:

(415 ILCS 5/9.14 new)

Sec. 9.14. Emission measurement requirements.

(a) As used in this Section:

"Affected source" means any electric generating unit that combusts coal in an amount greater than 10% of its total heat input on a rolling 12 month basis.
