1 AN ACT concerning State government.
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 Mechanical Insulation Energy Audit Act.
6 Section 5. Legislative findings. The General Assembly
7 finds:
8 (1) The State has a vested interest in decreasing the
9 carbon footprint of publicly owned buildings.
10 (2) It is the public policy of this State to ensure
11 that publicly owned buildings in the State are free from
12 harmful mold and bacteria and can be used by Illinois
13 residents for employment, education, and social services.
14 (3) Mechanical insulation plays an important role in
15 advancing Illinois toward its clean energy goals by
16 lowering operating expenses, reducing energy loss, and
17 decreasing emissions.
18 Section 10. Definitions. As used in this Act:
19 "Agency" means the Environmental Protection Agency.
20 "Mechanical insulation" means insulation materials,
21 facings, and accessory products applied to mechanical systems,
