Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB4927

Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Provides that if a water supplier that acquires ownership of an existing public water supply enters into a written agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency to bring the public water supply into compliance with drinking water standards and then does so, the water supplier has certain civil immunities concerning the public water supply's previous failure to meet those drinking water standards. Confers other civil immunities from tort liability upon a water supplier. Provides that the immunities conferred under this amendatory Act (i) do not create a new cause of action or substantive legal right against a water supplier, (ii) do not affect existing civil immunities, and (iii) do not create immunity for violations of the Environmental Protection Act.
