The reports shall also contain findings and recommendations concerning the relative net costs and net benefits which might result from implementation of the emission reduction strategies identified in the memorandum of understanding or State Implementation Plan, contrasted with those that might result from implementation of the alternate strategies. The recommendations may include suggested modifications to the terms or applicability of the memorandum of understanding or State Implementation Plan.
(b) Upon completion of the reports, the House Committee and Senate Committee shall forward the reports to the Speaker of the House and the Senate President, respectively.
(c) Upon receipt of the reports submitted pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, the Speaker of the House and the Senate President shall forward the reports to the Governor for his or her further consideration or action that may be warranted.
(d) In the absence of a resolution or other act of the Illinois General Assembly approving a State Implementation Plan for Illinois relating to ozone, the Director of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency shall not submit to the United States Environmental Protection Agency a State Implementation Plan relating to ozone attainment that would impose emission controls in Illinois more stringent than necessary for Illinois to demonstrate attainment with a national ambient air quality standard for ozone, unless it can be shown (i) that man-made emissions from man-made sources located within Illinois contribute significantly to nonattainment or inability to maintain an ozone standard in another nonattaining state and (ii) that feasible emission reductions in the other nonattaining state, absent the more stringent emission controls in Illinois, would not permit that state to demonstrate attainment and maintenance of the national ambient air quality standard for ozone.
