SB 1449 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

asbestos program; rules; fees

This bill amends Arizona law to implement federal hazardous air pollutant regulations under the Clean Air Act. It requires the state director to adopt rules for enforcing federal standards, including mandating maximum achievable control technology for new or modified major industrial sources emitting hazardous pollutants (like asbestos, though the bill's focus is broader). It also creates an alternative pathway: facilities reducing emissions by 90% (95% for particulates) can qualify for a six-year permit with alternative limits instead of federal standards. Additionally, the bill establishes a fee for an asbestos regulatory program, with collected fees deposited into the state's air quality fund. The legislation primarily affects industrial facilities subject to hazardous air pollutant regulations.
