Introduced Text

Illinois HB4123 extends deadlines for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and mandates emission reductions for specific units.

Illinois HB4123, known as the Save Our Power Plants Act, amends the Environmental Protection Act to extend deadlines for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from electric generating units (EGUs) and large greenhouse gas-emitting units. The bill mandates that all EGUs and large greenhouse gas-emitting units reduce their carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by at least 50% by January 1, 2035. Certain units must achieve zero emissions by later dates, with public units using coal required to reach zero emissions by December 31, 2060.
