EPA-LNDSCP WASTE-PCB RULES                                                 

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Environmental Protection Act to  allow  the  Pollution      
   Control Board to adopt statewide rules to ban landscape waste burning.      
   Requires  the  Board  to  prohibit  open burning of landscape waste in      
   specified urbanized areas, except for agricultural  purposes,  habitat      
   management  purposes,  and  firefighter  training  purposes.  Preempts      
   certain  units of local government from regulating the open burning of      
   landscape waste in a manner less  restrictive  than  the  State.  Sets      
   forth civil penalties. Effective immediately.                               
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Envi-        
   ronmental Protection Act to require the Pollution Control Board to          
   adopt rules to ban the open burning of landscape waste in municipali-       
   ties with a population over 75,000, except for certain limited pur-         
   poses. Preempts home rule units from regulating the open burning of         
   landscape waste in a manner less restrictive than the State. Restores       
   provision that allows the burning of landscape waste on premises where      
   it is produced or at sites provided and supervised by a unit of local       
   government (except in counties with a population over 400,000), so          
   long as the burning is not in conflict with the Board's new rules re-       
   gulating municipalities with a population over 75,000.                      
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                
        Makes technical changes.                                               
          FISCAL NOTE (Ill. Pollution Control Bd.)                             
          Total annual implementation cost is $150,000, beginning FY98.        
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE (DCCA)                                    
          Creates a service mandate which requires a 50% to 100% reim-         
          bursement, and a due process mandate which does not require          
          reimbursement.                                                       
          HOME RULE NOTE                                                       
          SB1103 does preempt home rule authority.
