Short description: 
EMERGENCY PLANNING-HAZMAT                                                  

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the State Finance Act and the Illinois Emergency  Planning      
   and Community Right to Know Act. In the latter Act, changes certain         
   definitions and adds definitions 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.  Establishes 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, provides for deposit of the fees into the Chemical               
   Emergency  Preparedness  and Prevention Fund (created by these              
   amendatory provisions), and provides for the use of the fee proceeds        
   by the SERC and local emergency planning committees. Requires the SERC      
   to make tier II and other information publicly accessible. Makes            
   other changes. Effective immediately.
