Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the definition of coal tar and its use in pavement products
AI Summary
This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to redefine "coal tar," which is a viscous substance produced from heating coal, by including ethylene cracked residues or steam cracked residues and lowering the threshold for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from one thousand milligrams per kilogram to one milligram per kilogram. This change is significant because PAHs are a group of chemicals that can be harmful to human health and the environment, and the bill aims to restrict the use of coal tar with higher concentrations of these substances in pavement products. The bill also renumbers a section of the law and will take effect one year after it becomes law.
