    AN ACT concerning safety.

    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by
adding Section 22.62 as follows:

    (415 ILCS 5/22.62 new)
    Sec. 22.62. TRI-PFAS; incineration.
    (a) As used in this Section:
        "Incineration" includes, but is not limited to,
    burning, combustion, pyrolysis, gasification, or the use
    of an acid recovery furnace or oxidizer, ore roaster,
    cement kiln, lightweight aggregate kiln, industrial
    furnace, boiler, or process heater. "Incineration" does
    not include the use of a thermal oxidizer as a pollution
    control or resource recovery device at a facility that is
    using perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances or
    chemicals containing perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl
    substances.
        "Toxic Release Inventory Perfluoroalkyl and
    Polyfluoroalkyl Substances" or "TRI-PFAS" means the
    chemicals on the list of perfluoroalkyl and
    polyfluoroalkyl substances set forth in the USEPA's Toxic
    Release Inventory rules, developed under Section 313 of
    the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know
    Act (EPCRA) and codified in 40 CFR 372.65, excluding
    liquid or gaseous fluorocarbon or chlorofluorocarbon
    products used chiefly as refrigerants.
    (b) No person shall dispose of any TRI-PFAS by
incineration, including, but not limited to, aqueous
film-forming foam that contains TRI-PFAS. The Agency may
propose, and the Board may adopt, any rules it deems necessary
to carry out the provisions of this Section.
    (c) Nothing in this Section applies to the incineration of
(i) landfill gas from the decomposition of waste that may
contain any perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances at a
permitted sanitary landfill, (ii) landfill gas in a landfill
gas recovery facility that is located at a sanitary landfill,
(iii) waste at a permitted hospital, medical, and infectious
waste incinerator that meets the requirements of Subpart HHH
of 40 CFR Part 62, Subpart Ec of 40 CFR Part 60, or the
Board-adopted State Plan requirements for hospital, medical,
and infectious waste incinerators, as applicable, or (iv)
sludges, biosolids, or other solids or by-products generated
at or by a municipal wastewater treatment plant or facility.

    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.

Effective Date: 06/08/2022
