Summary

The act amends the Environmental Protection Act so the Illinois Pollution Control Board cannot adopt standards that are weaker than the board’s current rules for air, water, drinking water, hazardous waste and landfills. It also protects the right of the board and any person to propose and adopt rules that are stricter than those set by the U.S. EPA. The change is meant to keep Illinois’ environmental protections strong.
