What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under the federal Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgates emission standards for hazardous air contaminants. EPA regulates sources of those contaminants in categories that it identifies as sources that must be regulated. Under current state law, when EPA promulgates an emission standard for a hazardous air contaminant, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) must promulgate by rule a similar standard that may not be more restrictive than the federal standard. Current law provides that if EPA does not promulgate an emission standard for a hazardous air contaminant, DNR may promulgate an emission standard for that hazardous air contaminant if DNR finds that the standard is needed to provide adequate protection for public health or welfare and if the finding is supported with certain written documentation.
This bill prohibits DNR from regulating sources that emit hazardous air contaminants associated with agricultural waste except to the extent required by federal law.
