December 21, 2000IN THE MATTER OF: )) PROPOSED NEW 35 ILL.
The purpose of this cap is to reduce atmospheric contamination, most specifically for
ozone.2The Illinois General Assembly has found that an emissions trading program is a cost-effective means of reducing NOx emissions (415 ILCS 5/9.9(a)(3) (1998 State Bar Edition,1999 Supp.)).
Further, the Illinois General Assembly has directed the Board to adopt
regulations implementing such a program (415 ILCS 5/9.9(b) (1998 State Bar Edition, 1999Supp.)).
The Board’s action today is in response to that directive.
