1 AN ACT concerning regulation.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
5 Enhanced Oil Recovery Ban Act.
6 Section 5. Intent. The General Assembly finds and declares
7 that the purpose of carbon-capture technologies and carbon
8 capture and sequestration is to facilitate the transition to a
9 carbon-neutral society and not to facilitate continued
10 dependence upon fossil fuel production.
11 Section 10. Definitions. In this Act:
12 "Carbon dioxide capture project" means a project that uses
13 a process to separate carbon dioxide from industrial or
14 energy-related sources, other than oil or gas production from
15 a well, and produces a concentrated fluid of carbon dioxide
16 with the intent of preventing emission of the carbon dioxide
17 into the atmosphere.
18 "Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration project" means a
19 carbon dioxide capture project that seeks to provide for the
20 long-term isolation of the concentrated carbon dioxide fluid
21 from the atmosphere through storage in a geologic formation.
22 "Class II well" has the same meaning as in 40 CFR 144.6.

1 "Concentrated carbon dioxide fluid" means a fluid that
2 contains concentrated carbon dioxide that is proportionately
3 greater than the ambient atmospheric concentration of carbon
4 dioxide.
5 Section 15. Enhanced oil recovery ban.
6 (a) A person shall not inject a concentrated carbon
7 dioxide fluid produced by a carbon dioxide capture project or
8 carbon dioxide capture and sequestration project into a Class
9 II well for purposes of enhanced oil recovery, including the
10 facilitation of enhanced oil recovery from another well.
11 (b) An individual who violates this Act is subject to a
12 fine of $20,000 for each violation.
13 Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
14 becoming law.
