Compliance Advisory Panel

The Illinois Compliance Advisory Panel is a federally mandated advisory group under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.  In recognition that small businesses do not have the staff nor resources of larger companies, Congress mandated that each state provide a regulatory compliance assistance program for small businesses consisting of three components: a technical assistance program, an ombudsman and a compliance advisory panel.
