| Section 25. Implementation.
|
13 |
| (a) On and after January 1, 2008, no new medium voltage |
14 |
| dry-type distribution transformer, single-voltage external AC |
15 |
| to DC power supply, or State-regulated incandescent reflector |
16 |
| lamp may be sold or offered for sale in the State unless the |
17 |
| efficiency of the new product meets or exceeds the efficiency |
18 |
| standards set forth in Section 20. |
19 |
| On and after January 1, 2009, no new metal halide lamp |
20 |
| fixture may be sold or offered for sale in the State unless the |
21 |
| efficiency of the product meets or exceeds the efficiency |
22 |
| standards set forth in Section 20. |
23 |
| In consultation with the Attorney General, the Department |
24 |
| shall determine if implementation of State standards for |
25 |
| furnaces and boilers requires a waiver from federal preemption, |
26 |
| and, if necessary, shall apply for such waiver within 18 months |
27 |
| of the effective date of this Act. If the Department determines |
28 |
| that a waiver from federal preemption is necessary for State |
29 |
| furnace and boiler standards, the State standards shall go into |
30 |
| effect at the earliest date permitted by federal law. If the |
31 |
| Department determines that a waiver from federal preemption is |
32 |
| not needed for State furnace and boiler standards, then the |
33 |
| State standards shall go into effect on June 1, 2008. |
