EPA-CLEAN AIR
Summary
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Removes language providing that a Section regarding Clean Air Act rules only applies through December 31, 2021. Allows any person, including the Agency, to propose rules to amend the listing of etiologic agents identified as Class 4 agents and to consult specified classifications published by various entities. Removes provisions requiring the Pollution Control Board to adopt rules identical to a specified publication and replaces them with a requirement for the Board to take action on a proposal to amend the listing of Class 4 agents not later than 6 months after receiving it. Effective immediately. Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Provides that provisions regarding Clean Air Act rules apply through December 31, 2026 (rather than removing language providing that the provisions only apply through December 31, 2021).
