This bill updates Kentucky's air quality rules by defining what counts as an "emergency stationary internal combustion engine" and setting a clear standard for how the Energy and Environment Cabinet and local air pollution control districts calculate and charge emissions fees. The emergency designation means the law took effect immediately upon signing rather than waiting for the standard effective date. Who it may affect: businesses and facilities that operate stationary backup or emergency engines, and local air pollution control districts that collect emissions fees.
