Current law generally requires a person to obtain an air pollution control
permit from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for a stationary source of
air pollution that the person operates or proposes to construct. This bill prohibits
DNR from issuing an air pollution control permit for an ethanol plant located within
five miles of a school.
