21 materials or products. "Recyclable general construction or
22 demolition debris" does not include general construction or
23 demolition debris processed for use as fuel, incinerated,

09500HB4622ham001 - 5 - LRB095 17011 BDD 47491 a

1 demotion debris and that is processed for use as fuel if the
2 requirements for the acceptance and combustion of the wood fuel
3 are included in a fuel specification that is approved for the
4 combustor in a permit issued by the Agency and if:
5         (1) the processing of salvaged wood into wood fuel in
6     accordance with applicable permit requirements removes all

15     has not had all foreign materials and contaminated wood
16     removed is supplied only to intermediaries or end-users
17     that have obtained all necessary waste management and air
18     permits for handling and combustion of the wood fuel.
19     Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may
20 exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under
21 the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or
22 promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this
23 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the
24 Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or
25 enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 95th
26 General Assembly, the Governor may suggest rules to the General

5 in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this
6 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be
7 interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other

9 explicitly given. For the purposes of this subsection, "rules"
10 is given the meaning contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois
11 Administrative Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head"
12 are given the meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of

14 such definitions apply to agencies or agency heads under the
15 jurisdiction of the Governor.
16     (d) For purposes of this Section, "treatment" means
17 processing designed to alter the physical nature of the general
18 construction or demolition debris, including but not limited to

19     end-users that have obtained all necessary waste
20     management and air permits for handling and combustion of
21     the wood fuel.
22 For purposes of this definition, "biomass" includes, but is not
23 limited to, wood and agricultural residues (e.g. corn stover
24 and wheat straw). Biomass that is used as fuel for energy
25 recovery excludes, without limitation, energy crops (i.e.
26 those produced solely or primarily for use as feedstocks in
