What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issues permits

for certain stationary sources of air pollution. The current definition of "stationary

source" includes facilities that indirectly emit air pollution. DNR has promulgated

rules that require permits for certain indirect sources of air pollution, including

certain parking lots and highways. Some of the requirements that apply to other

stationary sources do not apply to indirect sources.

This bill prohibits DNR from requiring air pollution control permits for indirect

sources.

This bill is introduced as required by s. 227.26 (2) (f), stats., in support of the

action of the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules in suspending ch.

NR 411, Wis. Adm. Code, a rule of DNR on April 27, 2011. The suspended rule

required air pollution control permits for indirect sources.
