HB 4358

Abstract

Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Provides that all CCR generated by the electric generating industry located in a municipality bordering Lake Michigan with greater than 75,000 inhabitants but fewer than 150,000 inhabitants shall be removed from the site. Provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, the amendatory provisions do not impact any financial obligation arising before their effective date. Effective immediately. Pension Note, House Floor Amendment No. 3 (Government Forecasting & Accountability) HB 4358, as amended by HA 3, will not impact any public pension fund or retirement system in the State of Illinois. State Debt Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 3 (Government Forecasting & Accountability) HB 4358, as amended by House Amendment 3, would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness. Balanced Budget Note, House Floor Amendment No. 3 (Office of Management and Budget) Please be advised that the Balanced Budget Note Act does not apply to House Bill 4358, [as amended by House Amendment 3] as it is not a supplemental appropriation that increases or decreases appropriations. Under the Act, a balanced budget note must be prepared only for bills that change a general funds appropriation for the fiscal year in which the new bill is enacted. Judicial Note, House Floor Amendment No. 3 (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts) The legislation will not increase or decrease the number of judges needed in the State of Illinois. Fiscal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 3 (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency) House Amendment #3 imposes no additional fiscal impact on the Illinois EPA. Land Conveyance Appraisal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 3 (Dept. of Transportation) No land conveyances are included in this bill, therefore, there are no appraisals to be filed. Housing Affordability Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 3 (Housing Development Authority) HB4358 (H-AM-3) is anticipated to have no effect on the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence. It is possible that some of the training requirements for construction/engineers could come with a cost that gets passed to the construction industry which could impact the affordability of housing in Illinois, but not enough information is provided in the bill to make this determination and the reviewer does not believe there will be any measurable impact. Correctional Note, House Floor Amendment No. 3 (Dept of Corrections) This amendment has no fiscal impact or population impact on the department.
