Short description: 
EMERGENCY PLANNING-HAZMAT                                                  

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Emergency Planning and Community Right to          
   Know Act. Changes the definition of "Federal Act" to mean the federal       
   Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act, and adds defini-        
   tions of "retail gas station" and "Tier II Emergency and Hazardous          
   Chemical Inventory form".  Requires the State Emergency Response            
   Commission (SERC) to designate emergency planning districts. Estab-         
   lishes threshold inventory levels that trigger a requirement that a         
   facility owner or operator prepare a tier II form. Establishes annual       
   fees that must be paid by facility owners or operators; creates the         
   Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Fund (amending the           
   State Finance Act in connection therewith) and provides for the             
   deposit of the fees into the fund; and provides for the use of the          
   fee proceeds by the SERC and the local emergency planning committees.       
   Requires the SERC to make tier II and other information publicly            
   accessible. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
