IL HB2788

Establishes a 180-day deadline for the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to issue written notice of alleged environmental violations, with the notice requiring detailed explanation of violations, suggested resolutions, and timeframes for compliance.

Creates a 45-day response period for accused parties to submit written responses addressing violations, with options to request meetings with agency personnel and propose Compliance Commitment Agreements.

Allows parties to request a meeting within 60 days to discuss alleged violations and suggested resolutions, followed by a 21-day period to submit additional written responses after the meeting.

Requires the Agency to issue either a proposed Compliance Commitment Agreement or notice that violations cannot be resolved without Attorney General involvement within 30 days of receiving responses.

Establishes that if the Agency fails to respond within 30 days to proposed agreement terms, the Agency's silence constitutes acceptance of the proposed Compliance Commitment Agreement terms; successful completion of such agreements prevents referral to the Attorney General unless violations remain in disagreement.
