Summary
The bill amends the Environmental Protection Act so the state board cannot adopt standards that are weaker than existing Illinois regulations. It also permits the board to adopt federal EPA regulations that are "identical in substance," but only if they are not less stringent than current state rules. The goal is to keep Illinois environmental protections at least as strong as federal requirements.
