SAFETY-TECH
HB 5544 ("SAFETY-TECH") is a technical correction to Illinois' Environmental Protection Act. It fixes a typographical error in the act's short title by removing an extra "and" in the phrase "This Act shall be known and may be cited as the 'Environmental Protection Act'." This change only affects how the law is formally referenced in legal documents and does not alter any environmental regulations, requirements, or protections. The bill has no substantive policy impact and does not directly affect any individuals, businesses, or environmental programs.
