Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Requires the Environmental Protection Agency to file with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives a report describing the proposed contents and requirements of the State Implementation Plan for Illinois related to ozone or particulate matter attainment prior to submitting the Plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Sets forth requirements for this report. Requires the appropriate committee of each chamber of the General Assembly to hold hearings to receive comments on the prospective economic, energy, and environmental impacts of the proposed measures to be included in the Plan. Provides that in the absence of a joint resolution of the General Assembly or specific authorization, the Agency shall not submit to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency any State Implementation Plan related to ozone or particulate matter attainment that would impose emission controls on the electric generation sector more stringent than those necessary for the State to comply with the Clean Air Interstate Rule, nor adopt any regulations, memoranda of understandings, or similar agreements seeking to implement more stringent controls.
