pollutants that are not regulated under federal law. The bill also provides that any
rule promulgated by DNR that relates to the regulation of an air pollutant that is not
regulated under federal law expires ten years after the rule takes effect. The bill
provides that DNR may promulgate a rule to readopt an expiring rule using the
standard rule-making process no sooner than the year prior to the rule's expiration.
