MODERATE
The bill was amended to narrow its scope to only air pollution permits under the state air quality control program, excluding general facility registrations. It also updated the timeline for permit decisions, extending the deadline from 18 to 24 months to allow for a potential 2-year delay if energy reliability is at risk, and changed the automatic suspension trigger from 36 months to 24 months. Additionally, the effective date was delayed from immediately to 60 days after becoming law.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed to apply only to specific air pollution permits under the state air quality control program, removing references to general permit recertifications and excluding low-emission facility registrations.
SCOPE

The bill now specifically targets permits under the state air quality control program and excludes registrations for facilities with low emissions or those not requiring permit conditions.

TIMELINE

The deadline for the department to make a final permit decision was extended from 18 months to 24 months.

The automatic suspension of a permit for delayed decisions now occurs after 24 months instead of 36 months, but only if the energy reliability exception is not invoked.

The act's effective date was changed from immediate to 60 days after it becomes law.

REQUIREMENT

A new provision allows for a two-year delay in automatic permit suspension if a determination is made that suspending the permit would compromise energy reliability.

The department must publish a public list of affected permits annually by January 31st, including details on emissions and application status.
