Attorney General Lisa Madigan joined 11 other State Attorneys General who submitted extensive comments on the EPA’s proposal to rescind key provisions of 2017 amendments to its “Risk Management Program” (RMP) regulations. The “Accident Prevention Amendments” rule made critical improvements to the RMP to safeguard against explosions, fires, poisonous gas releases, and other accidents at facilities that store and use toxic chemicals.
