HB1305

EPA-FILING FEES

Chamber Passed·4/9/25

Illinois HB1305 amends the Environmental Protection Act to increase filing fees for certain petitions from $75 to $250.

Illinois HB1305 modifies the Environmental Protection Act by raising the filing fees for specific petitions from $75 to $250. These petitions include contesting local government decisions, petitions for adjusted standards, petitions for time-limited water quality standards, petitions for site-specific regulations, variances, and reviews of permits. The fees collected are to be deposited in the Pollution Control Board Fund. Notably, if a variance petition is converted into a petition for a time-limited water quality standard, the petitioner does not need to pay an additional filing fee.
