AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 3101

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 3101 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 5. The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is amended by changing Section 5-45 as follows:

(5 ILCS 100/5-45) (from Ch. 127, par. 1005-45)

Sec. 5-45. Emergency rulemaking.

(a) "Emergency" means the existence of any situation that any agency finds reasonably constitutes a threat to the public interest, safety, or welfare.

(b) If any agency finds that an emergency exists that requires adoption of a rule upon fewer days than is required by Section 5-40 and states in writing its reasons for that finding, the agency may adopt an emergency rule without prior notice or hearing upon filing a notice of emergency rulemaking with the Secretary of State under Section 5-70. The notice shall include the text of the emergency rule and shall be published in the Illinois Register. Consent orders or other court orders adopting settlements negotiated by an agency may be adopted under this Section. Subject to applicable constitutional or statutory provisions, an emergency rule becomes effective immediately upon filing under Section 5-65 or at a stated date less than 10 days thereafter. The agency's finding and a statement of the specific reasons for the finding shall be filed with the rule. The agency shall take reasonable and appropriate measures to make emergency rules known to the persons who may be affected by them.

(c) An emergency rule may be effective for a period of not longer than 150 days, but the agency's authority to adopt an identical rule under Section 5-40 is not precluded. No emergency rule may be adopted more than once in any 24-month period, except that this limitation on the number of emergency rules that may be adopted in a 24-month period does not apply to (i) emergency rules that make additions to and deletions from the Drug Manual under Section 5-5.16 of the Illinois Public Aid Code or the generic drug formulary under Section 3.14 of the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, (ii) emergency rules adopted by the Pollution Control Board before July 1, 1997 to implement portions of the Livestock Management Facilities Act, (iii) emergency rules adopted by the Illinois Department of Public Health under subsections (a) through (i) of Section 2 of the Department of Public Health Act when necessary to protect the public's health, (iv) emergency rules adopted pursuant to subsection (n) of this Section, (v) emergency rules adopted pursuant to subsection (o) of this Section, or (vi) emergency rules adopted pursuant to subsection (c-5) of this Section. Two or more emergency rules having substantially the same purpose and effect shall be deemed to be a single rule for purposes of this Section.

(c-5) To facilitate the maintenance of the program of group health benefits provided to annuitants, survivors, and retired employees under the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971, rules to alter the contributions to be paid by the State, annuitants, survivors, retired employees, or any combination of those entities, for that program of group health benefits, shall be adopted as emergency rules.

Section 10. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by adding Section 9.16 as follows:

(415 ILCS 5/9.16 new)

Sec. 9.16. Ethylene oxide control.

(a) This Section may be referred to as the Ethylene Oxide Emission Control Law.

(b) Within one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, all persons emitting ethylene oxide, following industry best practices, take those steps necessary to capture 99.9% of their ethylene oxide emissions.

In areas of high population density, the Agency shall by rule provide for a maximum limit on the total pounds of ethylene oxide that may be emitted at a single location. The Agency shall require all permit holders in high population density areas to gradually decrease their emissions of ethylene oxide. At a minimum, the emissions of ethylene oxide by permit holders shall be reduced to 75% of 2018 permitted levels by the year 2020 and 25% of 2018 permitted levels by the year 2022. The emission of ethylene oxide in high population density areas shall be banned by the year 2024. For purposes of this Section, "high population density" means municipalities or unincorporated areas with a population of 3,000 or more persons per square mile.

(c) Beginning one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, each person emitting ethylene oxide shall annually demonstrate their compliance with the requirements of subsection (a) to the Agency by hiring an Agency-approved third-party vendor to test that person's ethylene oxide emissions at each location operated by the person, including, but not limited to, the location's unreduced and untreated ethylene oxide production, the location's ethylene oxide emissions, and the location's ambient air where the ethylene oxide is being released. The testing shall be done at the expense of the person being tested, the date and time of which shall not be provided to the person to be tested.

(d) If a location tested under subsection (c) is not in compliance with the standards set forth in subsection (b), the Agency shall: (i) impose those penalties provided under Section 42 that the Agency deems appropriate, up to, and including, seeking injunctive relief, together with the revocation or suspension of any permit or permit; (ii) notify the public who reside within 5 miles of that location via broadcast over at least one radio station and one television station in the area of the emitting facility; (iii) post notice of the non-compliance on the Agency's website; and (iv) inform the Department of Public Health and the Attorney General of the non-compliance.

(e) Permits issued on and after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly under which ethylene oxide may be emitted, together with any grants that may be made by the Agency to persons emitting ethylene oxide, are expressly subject to any changes made by rule by the Agency to ethylene oxide emission standards during the period for which the permit is issued. Upon any changes in such rules, the Agency, at its discretion, may re-evaluate the permit and make such changes to the terms and conditions of the permit as are needed to bring the permit into compliance with the changes made to the rules.

(f) The Agency shall adopt rules necessary to implement this Section. The Agency may adopt rules necessary to implement this Section through the use of emergency rulemaking under subsection (ee) of Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act for a period not to exceed 180 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.

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