Bill > SB2266

This bill amends the Environmental Protection Act and the Illinois Groundwater Protection Act to modify regulations for non-community water supplies, which are public water systems that do not serve residents year-round (such as those at schools, workplaces, or parks). The bill specifies that the Environmental Protection Act's requirements will not apply to non-community water supplies, except in three specific circumstances: (1) for the Environmental Protection Agency's implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act, (2) for the Pollution Control Board's adoption of rules pertaining to non-community or all public water supplies, and (3) for provisions related to non-community water supplies under the Illinois Groundwater Protection Act. Additionally, the bill authorizes the imposition of administrative and civil penalties for violations, including a $1,000 penalty for each day a violation occurs. The amendments aim to provide clearer regulatory guidelines for non-community water supplies while maintaining important public health protections. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
