Adds provisions concerning the Planning and Procurement Bureau, feedstock procurement plans, and competitive feedstock procurement processes for clean coal SNG brownfield facilities. Provides for additional authority and responsibilities related to the clean coal SNG brownfield facility for the Agency, Illinois Commerce Commission ("Commission"), and the Capital Development Board. Makes other changes. Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. Provides that the Code shall not apply to certain processes under the Illinois Power Agency Act related to clean coal SNG brownfield facilities. Exempts from the Code a certain alternative bidding procedure under the Illinois Power Agency Act. Amends the Public Utilities Act. Adds the definitions for "clean coal SNG brownfield facility", "clean coal SNG facility", "sequester", "SNG facility", "sourcing agreement", and "substitute natural gas" or "SNG". In a provision concerning rate changes based on changes in fuel costs, adds new provisions concerning the sourcing agreements, consumer protection reserve accounts, recoverable costs and revenue by the clean coal SNG brownfield facility, public hearings to review proposed sourcing agreements, sequestration permitting, oversight, and investigations. Provides that the State of Illinois may not enact any law or take any action to break, or repeal the authority for, sourcing agreements approved by the Commission and entered into between public utilities and the clean coal SNG brownfield facility or deny public utilities or clean coal SNG brownfield facilities full cost recovery for their costs incurred under those sourcing agreements. Makes other changes. Amends the Illinois Gas Pipeline Safety Act. Changes the definition of "gas" to include carbon dioxide. Makes changes to the definitions of "transportation of gas", and "pipeline facilities". Provides that the Commission shall adopt rules establishing minimum safety standards for (1) the transportation of carbon dioxide in any physical form for the purpose of sequestration and (2) pipeline facilities used for that function. Amends the Illinois Environmental Protection Act. Provides that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency shall inspect carbon dioxide sequestration sites for compliance with the Act, rules adopted under the Act, and permits issued by the Agency. Provides that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the Commission, the Capital Development Board, and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources shall have rulemaking authority to implement the provisions of the amendatory Act. Includes an inseverability provision. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 2
In provisions amending the Public Utilities Act, removes provisions limiting the net increase in the prices paid in connection with gas service by residential customers due to the costs of the SNG purchased pursuant to a sourcing agreement.

House Floor Amendment No. 3
Makes a change to the definition of "sequester". Provides that any mediator retained to assist with mediating disputes between the parties regarding the sourcing agreement (instead of calculating the range of capital costs or operations and maintenance costs) shall be retained no later than 60 (instead of 90) days after the effective date of the Act. Makes changes to a provision concerning sequestration permitting, oversight, and investigations. Provides that costs for which a person is liable under the provision concerning carbon dioxide sequestration sites are in addition to any other relief.
