Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Prior to issuing a permit for carbon sequestration activity, the Agency shall issue a public notice of the permit application and draft permit. The public notice shall include a link to a website where copies of the permit application or draft permit, and all included attachments that are not protected under the Freedom of Information Act are posted, and shall provide information concerning the comment period on the permit application or draft permit and instructions for how to request a hearing on the permit application or draft permit. The Agency shall provide an opportunity for public comments on the permit application or draft permit, and shall hold a public hearing upon request. The Agency will make copies of all comments received available on its website and consider those comments when rendering its permit decision.
