    AN ACT concerning State government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Nuclear Safety Law of 2004 is amended by
changing Section 30 as follows:
 
    (20 ILCS 3310/30)
    Sec. 30. Powers vested in Environmental Protection Agency.
    (a) The Illinois Emergency Management Agency shall
exercise, administer, and enforce all rights, powers, and
duties vested in the Environmental Protection Agency by
paragraphs a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, 1, m, n, o, p, q,
and r of Section 4 and by Sections 30 through 45 of the
Environmental Protection Act, to the extent that these powers
relate to standards of the Pollution Control Board adopted
under Section 35 of this Act. The transfer of rights, powers,
and duties specified in this Section is limited to the programs
transferred by Public Act 81-1516 and this Act and shall not be
deemed to abolish or diminish the exercise of those same
rights, powers, and duties by the Environmental Protection
Agency with respect to programs retained by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
    (b) Notwithstanding provisions in Sections 4 and 17.7 of
the Environmental Protection Act, the Environmental Protection
Agency is not required to perform analytical services for
community water supplies to determine compliance with
contaminant levels for radionuclides as specified in State or
federal drinking water regulations.
    (c) Community water supplies may request the Illinois
Emergency Management Agency to perform analytical services to
determine compliance with contaminant levels for radionuclides
as specified in State or federal drinking water regulations.
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency must adopt rules
establishing reasonable fees reflecting the direct and
indirect cost of testing community water supply samples. The
rules may require a community water supply to commit to
participation in the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's
testing program. Neither the Illinois Emergency Management
Agency nor the Environmental Protection Agency is required to
perform analytical services to determine contaminant levels
for radionuclides from any community water supply that does not
participate in the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's
testing program.
     Community water supplies that choose not to participate in
the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's testing program or
do not pay the fees established by the Illinois Emergency
Management Agency shall have the duty to analyze all drinking
water samples as required by State or federal safe drinking
water regulations to determine radionuclide contaminant
levels.
