Following the signing of the Safety and Aid for the Environment in Carbon Capture and Sequestration Act (SB1289), Rep. Ann Williams shared the following on social media:
“In Illinois, we continue to fight the climate crisis in all sectors to reach our decarbonization goals. I’m in Decatur, Illinois today with Governor Pritzker for the signing of the bill regulating carbon capture and sequestration, a previously unregulated industry in Illinois. These nation-leading protections for our air, water and land create a stringent regulatory structure for the capture of carbon in difficult to decarbonize industries. Thank you, Gov. Pritzker, for always prioritizing safe and healthy communities and putting our climate first.”
