Relates to modifications, suspensions, revocations, and renewals of permits under the air quality control program
What changed between versions
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.
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.
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.
