Under current law, the air quality control commission is tasked
with developing an effective air quality control program (program), including adopting rules necessary to carry out the program.
The bill requires a person that owns, leases, operates, controls, or
supervises (owner or operator) a building, structure, facility, or installation that emits or may emit an air pollutant (stationary source) to maintain records that will help the public determine whether the owner or operator is in compliance with rules establishing applicable air quality control regulations (records). The bill requires an owner or operator of a stationary source to make the records publicly available and accessible through a link on the owner or operator's public website.
The department of public health and environment is required to
include a link on its website directing members of the public to the website of an owner or operator where the records are available.
