Relating to the establishment of a certification program for public work contracting purposes for operators of certain facilities that emit air contaminants.

HB 1018 establishes a certification program required for operators of facilities that emit air contaminants to qualify for public work contracts. It directly affects businesses operating such facilities seeking to bid on government construction or maintenance projects. The key provision creates a mandatory certification process administered by the Environmental Regulation committee, ensuring contractors meet specific air contaminant emission standards. This policy change modifies eligibility criteria for public contracting without altering emission limits for the facilities themselves.
