Requires the person complained against to accept or reject the proposed CCA within 30 days after receiving it. Provides that if the person complained against fails to respond to the proposed CCA within that time frame, then the proposed CCA is deemed rejected by operation of law. Authorizes written amendments to CCAs. Prohibits violations of CCAs. Grants the Agency certain rulemaking authority. Makes technical changes. Effective immediately."
