67	67	1 and operation of public transportation, to receive and
68	68	2 distribute State or federal operating assistance, and to
69	69	3 raise and distribute revenues for local operating
70	70	4 assistance. System generated revenues are not adequate for
71	71	5 such service and a public need exists to provide for, aid,
72	72	6 and assist public transportation in the metropolitan
73	73	7 region, consisting of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry,
74	74	8 and Will counties.
75	75	9 (3) Comprehensive and coordinated regional public
76	76	10 transportation is essential to public health, safety, and
77	77	11 welfare. It is essential to ensuring economic well-being,
78	78	12 addressing the climate crisis, providing affordable
79	79	13 transportation options for residents at all income levels,
80	80	14 conserving sources of energy and land for open space,
81	81	15 reducing traffic congestion, and providing for and
82	82	16 maintaining a healthful environment for the benefit of
83	83	17 present and future generations in the metropolitan region.
84	84	18 Public transportation decreases air pollution and other
85	85	19 environmental hazards as well as the tragic loss of life
86	86	20 from crashes and allows for more efficient land use and
87	87	21 planning.
88	88	22 (4) Public transportation advances equity and equal
89	89	23 opportunity by improving the mobility of the public and
90	90	24 providing more people with greater access to jobs,
91	91	25 commercial businesses, schools, medical facilities, and
92	92	26 cultural attractions.

103	103	1 (5) Public transportation in the metropolitan region
104	104	2 is being threatened by grave financial conditions. With
105	105	3 existing methods of financing, coordination, structure,
106	106	4 and management, the public transportation system is not
107	107	5 providing adequate service to ensure the public health,
108	108	6 safety, and welfare.
109	109	7 (6) The COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented
110	110	8 disruption in public transportation ridership and
111	111	9 operations from which the service providers have yet to
112	112	10 fully recover and the pandemic-related federal funding
113	113	11 support for public transportation operations has expired.
114	114	12 Although ridership levels continue to improve from the
115	115	13 lowest levels observed during the pandemic, net ridership
116	116	14 levels have not recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
117	117	15 Furthermore, the system experienced persistent losses in
118	118	16 ridership, service quality, and financial stability for
119	119	17 many years before the pandemic. These systemic issues,
120	120	18 combined with the changes in passenger behaviors,
121	121	19 experiences, and commuting patterns experienced since the
122	122	20 pandemic, create conditions untenable to a sustainable and
123	123	21 thriving public transportation system.
124	124	22 (7) Additional commitments to the public
125	125	23 transportation needs of persons with disabilities, the
126	126	24 economically disadvantaged, and the elderly are necessary.
127	127	25 (8) To solve these problems, it is necessary to
128	128	26 provide for the creation of a regional transportation

139	139	1 authority with the powers necessary to ensure adequate
140	140	2 public transportation and a board of directors that has
141	141	3 the diverse experience, expertise, and background to
142	142	4 effectively oversee the public transportation system.
143	143	5 (9) A substantial or total loss of public
144	144	6 transportation services or any segment of public
145	145	7 transportation services would create an emergency
146	146	8 threatening the safety and well-being of the people in the
147	147	9 metropolitan region.
148	148	10 (10) To meet the urgent needs of the people of the
149	149	11 metropolitan region, avoid a transportation emergency, and
150	150	12 provide financially sound methods of managing the
151	151	13 provision of public transportation services in the
152	152	14 metropolitan region, it is necessary to create one truly
153	153	15 integrated regional transit system instead of 3 separate
154	154	16 transit systems by combining the existing Service Boards
155	155	17 and Regional Transportation Authority into one agency.
156	156	18 (11) The economic vitality of Illinois requires
157	157	19 regionwide and systemwide efforts to increase ridership on
158	158	20 the transit systems, improve roadway operations within the
159	159	21 metropolitan region, and allocate resources for
160	160	22 transportation so as to assist in the development of an
161	161	23 adequate, efficient, equitable, and coordinated regional
162	162	24 public transportation system that is in a state of good
163	163	25 repair.

177	177	3 transportation by providing for the creation of a single
178	178	4 authority responsive to the people and elected officials of
179	179	5 the area and with the power and competence to operate the
180	180	6 regional transportation system, develop, implement, and
181	181	7 enforce plans that promote adequate, efficient, equitable, and
182	182	8 coordinated public transportation, provide responsible
183	183	9 financial stewardship of the public transportation system in
184	184	10 the metropolitan region, and facilitate the delivery of public
185	185	11 transportation that is attractive and safe to passengers and
186	186	12 employees, comprehensive and coordinated among its various
187	187	13 elements, economic and efficient, and coordinated among local,

2120	2120	5 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of
2121	2121	6 contracts not covered under a federally mandated disadvantaged
2122	2122	7 business enterprise program. The program shall establish
2123	2123	8 narrowly tailored goals for the participation of disadvantaged
2124	2124	9 business enterprises as the Authority determines appropriate.
2125	2125	10 The goals shall be based on demonstrable evidence of the
2126	2126	11 availability of ready, willing, and able disadvantaged
2127	2127	12 business enterprises relative to all businesses ready,

3529	3529	2 describes the appropriate characteristics for each type of
3530	3530	3 service or mode. These characteristics include, but are not
3531	3531	4 limited to, mode, frequency, time span, vehicle type, stop
3532	3532	5 spacing, vehicle and stop amenities, network connectivity,
3533	3533	6 route directness, route deviation, and coverage of service.
3534	3534	7 (d) The Service Standards shall include the transition of
3535	3535	8 commuter rail in the metropolitan region to a regional rail
3536	3536	9 service pattern or the retention of commuter rail with
3537	3537	10 additional regional rail service.
3538	3538	11 (e) The Service Standards shall cover the entire
3539	3539	12 metropolitan region and include the development of transit
3540	3540	13 propensity thresholds for each type of service or mode.
3541	3541	14 Transit propensity metrics shall include, but are not limited
3542	3542	15 to, population density, employment density, low-income
3543	3543	16 populations, disabled populations, zero-car households,
3544	3544	17 intersection density, and the presence of sidewalks. Weights
3545	3545	18 should be developed for each metric and a scoring system
3546	3546	19 developed to determine transit propensity. The production of a
3547	3547	20 transit propensity assessment shall be conducted for any
3548	3548	21 proposed new or modified services and constrained to a service
3549	3549	22 or route estimated catchment area. Final determination of the
3550	3550	23 eligibility of each type of service or mode for an area is
3551	3551	24 subject to qualitative review by the Authority once the
3552	3552	25 propensity assessment is completed, reviewed, and evaluated.

3565	3565	2 service provided above what would otherwise be provided
3566	3566	3 through the Service Standards. If a local government or group
3567	3567	4 of local governments demonstrates that the local government or
3568	3568	5 group of local governments have created a transit support
3569	3569	6 overlay district under the Transit-Supportive Development Act
3570	3570	7 or have adopted zoning and other changes that the Authority
3571	3571	8 determines has benefits to the transit system greater than or
3572	3572	9 equal to a transit support overlay district, the Authority
3573	3573	10 shall designate a preliminary amendment to the applicable
3574	3574	11 Service Standards for that area commensurate with the expected
3575	3575	12 increase in transit propensity. The Authority shall determine
3576	3576	13 the incremental cost of providing the service and present it
3577	3577	14 to the local government or group of local governments. Upon
3578	3578	15 execution of an agreement for the local government or group of
3579	3579	16 local governments to provide funding for 12 months to the
3580	3580	17 Authority equal to the incremental cost of providing the
3581	3581	18 additional service, the Authority shall finalize the Service
3582	3582	19 Standards amendment, and the Authority shall budget for and
3583	3583	20 provide the increased service. For service to be provided
3584	3584	21 within or substantially within Qualified Census Tracts as
3585	3585	22 identified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
3586	3586	23 Development, the Office of Transit-Oriented Development shall
3587	3587	24 provide a 50% cost share to the Authority for the increased
3588	3588	25 transit service associated with the Service Standards

4205	4205	5 course of the business. The Board may provide details of the
4206	4206	6 tax. The provisions of any tax shall conform, as closely as may
4207	4207	7 be practicable, to the provisions of the Non-Home Rule
4208	4208	8 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, including, without
4209	4209	9 limitation, conformity to penalties with respect to the tax

4242	4242	6 may collect and enforce the tax itself or by contract with any
4243	4243	7 unit of local government. The Department of Revenue shall have
4244	4244	8 no responsibility for the collection and enforcement unless
4245	4245	9 the Department agrees with the Authority to undertake the
4246	4246	10 collection and enforcement. As used in this subsection,
4247	4247	11 "parking facility" means a parking area or structure having
4248	4248	12 parking spaces for more than 2 vehicles at which motor

4255	4255	19 business of selling tangible personal property at retail in
4256	4256	20 the metropolitan region. In Cook County, the tax rate shall be
4257	4257	21 1.25% of the gross receipts from sales of tangible personal
4258	4258	22 property taxed at the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation
4259	4259	23 Tax Act and 1% of the gross receipts from other taxable sales
4260	4260	24 made in the course of that business. In DuPage, Kane, Lake,
4261	4261	25 McHenry, and Will counties, the tax rate shall be 0.75% of the
4262	4262	26 gross receipts from all taxable sales made in the course of

4276	4276	4 DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties has an
4277	4277	5 airport-related purpose and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75%
4278	4278	6 tax on aviation fuel is expended for airport-related purposes.
4279	4279	7 If there is no airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel
4280	4280	8 tax revenue is dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from
4281	4281	9 the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax. The tax imposed under
4282	4282	10 this Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an
4283	4283	11 incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
4284	4284	12 Department of Revenue. The Department has full power to
4285	4285	13 administer and enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and
4286	4286	14 penalties so collected in the manner provided in this Section;
4287	4287	15 and to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on
4288	4288	16 account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty under this
4289	4289	17 Section. In the administration of and compliance with this
4290	4290	18 Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this
4291	4291	19 Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
4292	4292	20 immunities, powers, and duties, and be subject to the same
4293	4293	21 conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions,

4317	4317	9 (f) The Board and DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will
4318	4318	10 counties must comply with the certification requirements for
4319	4319	11 airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers'
4320	4320	12 Occupation Tax Act. This exclusion for aviation fuel only
4321	4321	13 applies for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
4322	4322	14 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
4323	4323	15 Authority.
4324	4324	16 (g) Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
4325	4325	17 granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
4326	4326	18 seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the tax
4327	4327	19 as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in

4329	4329	21 are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, under any
4330	4330	22 bracket schedules the Department may prescribe.
4331	4331	23 (h) Whenever the Department determines that a refund
4332	4332	24 should be made under this Section to a claimant instead of

4472	4472	20 issuing a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the
4473	4473	21 State Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for
4474	4474	22 the amount specified, and to the person named in the

5314	5314	1 Such bonds or notes of the Authority do not constitute a debt
5315	5315	2 of the State of Illinois. Nothing in this Act shall be
5316	5316	3 construed to enable the Authority to impose any ad valorem tax
5317	5317	4 on property.
5318	5318	5 (u) The ordinance of the Authority authorizing the
5319	5319	6 issuance of any bonds or notes may provide additional security
5320	5320	7 for such bonds or notes by providing for appointment of a
5321	5321	8 corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank
5322	5322	9 having the powers of a trust company within the State, with
5323	5323	10 respect to such bonds or notes. The ordinance shall prescribe
5324	5324	11 the rights, duties, and powers of the trustee to be exercised
5325	5325	12 for the benefit of the Authority and the protection of the
5326	5326	13 holders of such bonds or notes. The ordinance may provide for
5327	5327	14 the trustee to hold in trust, invest, and use amounts in funds
5328	5328	15 and accounts created as provided by the ordinance with respect
5329	5329	16 to the bonds or notes. The ordinance may provide for the
5330	5330	17 assignment and direct payment to the trustee of any or all
5331	5331	18 amounts produced from the sources provided in Sections 6.02
5332	5332	19 and 6.08 and provided in Section 6z-17 of the State Finance
5333	5333	20 Act. Upon receipt of notice of any such assignment, the
5334	5334	21 Department of Revenue and the Comptroller of the State of
5335	5335	22 Illinois shall thereafter, notwithstanding the provisions of
5336	5336	23 Sections 6.02 and 6.08 and Section 6z-17 of the State Finance
5337	5337	24 Act, provide for such assigned amounts to be paid directly to

5354	5354	5 the trustee to the Authority.
5355	5355	6 (v) Any bonds or notes of the Authority issued pursuant to
5356	5356	7 this Section shall constitute a contract between the Authority
5357	5357	8 and the holders from time to time of such bonds or notes. In
5358	5358	9 issuing any bond or note, the Authority may include in the
5359	5359	10 ordinance authorizing such issue a covenant as part of the
5360	5360	11 contract with the holders of the bonds or notes, that as long
5361	5361	12 as such obligations are outstanding, it shall make such
5362	5362	13 deposits, as provided in subsection (c). It may also so
5363	5363	14 covenant that it shall impose and continue to impose taxes, as
5364	5364	15 provided in Section 6.02 and in addition thereto as
5365	5365	16 subsequently authorized by law, sufficient to make such
5366	5366	17 deposits and pay the principal and interest and to meet other
5367	5367	18 debt service requirements of such bonds or notes as they
5368	5368	19 become due. A certified copy of the ordinance authorizing the
5369	5369	20 issuance of any such obligations shall be filed at or prior to
5370	5370	21 the issuance of such obligations with the State Comptroller
5371	5371	22 and the Department of Revenue.
5372	5372	23 (w) The State of Illinois pledges to and agrees with the
5373	5373	24 holders of the bonds and notes of the Authority issued

5391	5391	6 action or proceedings by or on behalf of such holders, are

5393	5393	8 and agrees with the holders of the bonds and notes of the
5394	5394	9 Authority issued pursuant to this Section that the State will

5396	5396	11 paid to the Authority as provided in this Act, or the use of
5397	5397	12 such funds, so as to impair the terms of any such contract. The
5398	5398	13 Authority may include these pledges and agreements of the

9024	9024	13 under the Environmental Justice Act.
9025	9025	14 (c) The Department shall develop a risk-based, statewide
9026	9026	15 highway system asset management plan in accordance with 23
9027	9027	16 U.S.C. 119 and 23 CFR Part 515 to preserve and improve the
9028	9028	17 condition of highway and bridge assets and enhance the
9029	9029	18 performance of the system while minimizing the life-cycle
9030	9030	19 cost. The asset management plan shall be made publicly
9031	9031	20 available on the Department's website.
9032	9032	21 (d) The Department shall develop a needs-based transit
9033	9033	22 asset management plan for State-supported public
9034	9034	23 transportation assets, including vehicles, facilities,
9035	9035	24 equipment, and other infrastructure in accordance with 49 CFR
9036	9036	25 Part 625. The goal of the transit asset management plan is to

9057	9057	10 The Metropolitan Mobility Authority RTA shall be responsible
9058	9058	11 for making public transit asset management plans for its
9059	9059	12 service area publicly available.
9060	9060	13 (e) The Department shall develop a performance-based
9061	9061	14 project selection process to prioritize taxpayer investment in
9062	9062	15 State-owned transportation assets that add capacity. The goal
9063	9063	16 of the process is to select projects through an evaluation
9064	9064	17 process. This process shall provide the ability to prioritize
9065	9065	18 projects based on geographic regions. The Department shall
9066	9066	19 solicit input from localities, metropolitan planning
9067	9067	20 organizations, transit authorities, transportation
9068	9068	21 authorities, representatives of labor and private businesses,
9069	9069	22 the public, community-based organizations, and other
9070	9070	23 stakeholders in its development of the prioritization process
9071	9071	24 pursuant to this subsection.
9072	9072	25 The selection process shall include a defined public

9085	9085	2 analysis of the evaluation factors and qualitative review by
9086	9086	3 the Department. The Department may apply different weights to
9087	9087	4 the performance measures based on regional geography or
9088	9088	5 project type. Projects selected as part of the process will be
9089	9089	6 considered for inclusion in the State's multi-year
9090	9090	7 transportation program and the annual element of the
9091	9091	8 multi-year program. Starting April 1, 2022, no new capacity
9092	9092	9 project shall be included in the multi-year transportation
9093	9093	10 plan or annual element without being evaluated under the
9094	9094	11 selection process described in this Section. Existing projects
9095	9095	12 in the multi-year highway improvement program may be included
9096	9096	13 regardless of the outcome of using the performance-based
9097	9097	14 project selection tool. The policies that guide the
9098	9098	15 performance-based project selection process shall be derived
9099	9099	16 from State and regional long-range transportation plans. The
9100	9100	17 Department shall certify that it is making progress toward the
9101	9101	18 goals included in the State's long-range transportation plan.
9102	9102	19 All plan and program development based on the project
9103	9103	20 selection process described in this subsection shall include
9104	9104	21 consideration of regional balance. The selection process shall
9105	9105	22 be based on an objective and quantifiable analysis that
9106	9106	23 considers, at a minimum, the goals identified in the
9107	9107	24 long-range transportation plan and shall:
9108	9108	25 (1) consider emissions and increase infrastructure

9159	9159	4 Sec. 2705-204. Transportation planning and greenhouse gas
9160	9160	5 reduction.
9161	9161	6 (a) The General Assembly finds that:
9162	9162	7 (1) Article XI of the Illinois Constitution provides
9163	9163	8 that the public policy of the State and the duty of each
9164	9164	9 person is to provide and maintain a healthful environment
9165	9165	10 for the benefit of this and future generations.
9166	9166	11 (2) The transportation sector is now the largest
9167	9167	12 source of greenhouse gas emissions in the State.
9168	9168	13 (3) The State has previously set a goal to have an
9169	9169	14 electric power sector that is free of greenhouse gas
9170	9170	15 emissions by 2045.
9171	9171	16 (4) Greenhouse gas pollution resulting from the
9172	9172	17 production, distribution, and use of motor vehicle fuels
9173	9173	18 produces many social costs, including, but not limited to,
9174	9174	19 adverse public health impacts, increased heat waves,
9175	9175	20 droughts, water supply shortages, flooding, biodiversity
9176	9176	21 loss, and forest health issues, such as forest fires.
9177	9177	22 (5) The Illinois State Climatologist is projecting
9178	9178	23 that, by the end of the 21st Century, average daily
9179	9179	24 temperatures in the State will increase between 4 and 9
9180	9180	25 degrees Fahrenheit under a lower emissions scenario and

9851	9851	13 its GHG targets, however, in order to be effective,
9852	9852	14 such GHG mitigation measures must be implemented no
9853	9853	15 later than contemporaneously with the implementation
9854	9854	16 of the roadway expansion project or, if not
9855	9855	17 implemented contemporaneously, a GHG mitigation
9856	9856	18 measure must provide a valid GHG emissions reduction
9857	9857	19 after the date it is implemented; or
9858	9858	20 (C) halt development of the roadway capacity
9859	9859	21 expansion project and remove the roadway capacity
9860	9860	22 expansion project from all applicable planning
9861	9861	23 documents.
9862	9862	24 (2) The Department and MPOs must establish a process
9863	9863	25 for performing roadway capacity expansion project GHG

9913	9913	3 basis.
9914	9914	4 (4) The Department or MPO must develop and use a
9915	9915	5 process for community consultation consistent with the
9916	9916	6 requirements of subsection (m) in the development of GHG
9917	9917	7 mitigation measures that the Department or MPO uses to
9918	9918	8 achieve compliance with its GHG targets.
9919	9919	9 (5) The Department or MPO must publish an explanation
9920	9920	10 regarding the feasibility and rationale for each GHG
9921	9921	11 mitigation measure under subparagraphs (B) through (D) of
9922	9922	12 paragraph (3).
9923	9923	13 (6) GHG mitigation measures connected to a roadway
9924	9924	14 expansion project are sufficient if the total greenhouse
9925	9925	15 gas reduction from the GHG mitigation measures is at least
9926	9926	16 equal to the total GHG emissions resulting from the
9927	9927	17 roadway capacity expansion project and consistent with the
9928	9928	18 Department or MPO meeting its GHG targets.
9929	9929	19 (A) Each comparison under this paragraph must be
9930	9930	20 performed over equal comparison periods.

9959	9959	13 measures.
9960	9960	14 (i) The Department and MPOs may use a GHG mitigation
9961	9961	15 measure as an offset against GHG emissions only after the date
9962	9962	16 the GHG mitigation measure has been implemented.
9963	9963	17 (j) By January 1, 2028, and every 3 years thereafter, the
9964	9964	18 Department shall prepare a comprehensive, publicly released

10020	10020	2 (k) Before including any project that has an anticipated
10021	10021	3 cost of $30,000,000 or more (i) in an applicable planning
10022	10022	4 document or (ii) as a GHG mitigation measure, the Department
10023	10023	5 or MPO shall calculate a climate equity accessibility score
10024	10024	6 for the project. The climate equity accessibility score shall
10025	10025	7 be based on a GHG emissions analysis of the project and a
10026	10026	8 measurement of (i) the current levels of access to jobs,
10027	10027	9 hospitals, schools, and food by available modes of
10028	10028	10 transportation and (ii) the current level of affordability of
10029	10029	11 transportation in the project area. The Department and MPO
10030	10030	12 shall then calculate a climate equity accessibility score
10031	10031	13 based on the projected change in GHG emissions, accessibility,
10032	10032	14 and affordability from the proposed project. Projects that
10033	10033	15 result in relatively high reductions of GHG emissions while
10034	10034	16 increasing access to jobs and other destinations and providing
10035	10035	17 more affordable transportation options will receive a higher
10036	10036	18 climate equity accessibility score than projects that fail to
10037	10037	19 deliver such benefits. To advance the goals of this Section
10038	10038	20 and optimize the use of public funds, the Department and MPOs
10039	10039	21 shall give priority to projects with high climate equity
10040	10040	22 accessibility scores, considering which project delivers the
10041	10041	23 most climate equity accessibility score benefit per dollar
10042	10042	24 invested. The Department, with the assistance of the
10043	10043	25 Environmental Protection Agency, shall provide technical
10044	10044	26 assistance to MPOs in fulfilling their responsibilities under

10067	10067	13 States Code (49 U.S.C. 5303(k)(4)(C)) to better integrate
10068	10068	14 housing, transportation, and economic development
10069	10069	15 strategies and to, among other things:
10070	10070	16 (A) better connect housing and employment while
10071	10071	17 mitigating commuting times;
10072	10072	18 (B) align transportation improvements with housing
10073	10073	19 needs, such as housing supply shortages, and proposed
10074	10074	20 housing development;

10107	10107	17 (4) In their housing coordination planning, MPOs shall
10108	10108	18 focus on the effect that land use policies and practices,
10109	10109	19 such as minimum parking requirements and exclusionary
10110	10110	20 zoning requirements, contribute to increases in VMT and

10134	10134	8 (7) The Department shall not advance to the STIP a
10135	10135	9 project in a metropolitan planning area that the MPO has
10136	10136	10 determined would conflict with its housing coordination
10137	10137	11 plan prepared under paragraph (1) or would have the effect
10138	10138	12 of decreasing the affordability of transportation or the
10139	10139	13 accessibility of destinations or of increasing GHG
10140	10140	14 emissions.
10141	10141	15 (8) In furtherance of Section 48 of the Regional

10381	10381	3 scientific organizations.
10382	10382	4 (3) The Department may adopt the social cost of carbon
10383	10383	5 established by the Environmental Protection Agency under
10384	10384	6 subsection (q) of Section 9.15 of the Environmental
10385	10385	7 Protection Act or establish its own social cost of carbon
10386	10386	8 through the process set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2),
10387	10387	9 but the Department shall not adopt a social cost of carbon
10388	10388	10 that is lower than that established by the Environmental
10389	10389	11 Protection Agency.
10390	10390	12 (4) MPOs may adopt the social cost of carbon
10391	10391	13 established by the Environmental Protection Agency under
10392	10392	14 subsection (q) of Section 9.15 of the Environmental
10393	10393	15 Protection Act or by the Department under paragraph (3) or
10394	10394	16 establish their own social cost of carbon through the
10395	10395	17 process set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2), but an MPO
10396	10396	18 shall not adopt a social cost of carbon that is lower than
10397	10397	19 that established by the Environmental Protection Agency or
10398	10398	20 the Department.
10399	10399	21 (5) The Department shall incorporate the social cost
10400	10400	22 of carbon into its assessment of projects for possible
10401	10401	23 inclusion in its applicable planning document or for
10402	10402	24 inclusion in a STIP or TIP, giving priority to projects
10403	10403	25 that have a relatively low social cost of carbon:

10416	10416	2 a STIP or TIP unless it has calculated the social cost
10417	10417	3 of carbon resulting from the project over the useful
10418	10418	4 life of the project.
10419	10419	5 (B) Such calculations shall result in an estimate
10420	10420	6 of the social cost of carbon under a no-build scenario
10421	10421	7 and an estimate of the social cost of carbon if the
10422	10422	8 project is built, factoring in the effects of induced
10423	10423	9 demand and other appropriate factors.
10424	10424	10 (C) The estimate of the social cost of carbon must
10425	10425	11 include total additional GHG emissions attributable to
10426	10426	12 the proposed project and shall not be limited to GHG
10427	10427	13 emissions from within the physical boundaries of the
10428	10428	14 project.
10429	10429	15 (D) The Department shall publish in applicable
10430	10430	16 planning documents and STIPs the no-build and build
10431	10431	17 estimates of the social cost of carbon for each
10432	10432	18 project for which an estimate of the social cost of
10433	10433	19 carbon has been prepared.
10434	10434	20 (E) For purposes of its planning processes under
10435	10435	21 Sections 2705-200, 2705-203, and 2705-205, and after
10436	10436	22 factoring in the effects of induced demand on VMT
10437	10437	23 attributable to a proposed project, the Department
10438	10438	24 shall offset the social cost of carbon and the social
10439	10439	25 cost of crashes attributable to a project against its
10440	10440	26 projections of the value of the time savings from any

10452	10452	2 and shall publish its calculations and results.
10453	10453	3 (F) The Department may rely upon estimates of the
10454	10454	4 social cost of carbon prepared by MPOs for projects
10455	10455	5 included in a STIP that are located inside the MPO's
10456	10456	6 boundaries only if the Department finds that those
10457	10457	7 estimates of the social cost of carbon are based on
10458	10458	8 reasonable assumptions and methodology.
10459	10459	9 (6) Each MPO shall incorporate the social cost of
10460	10460	10 carbon into its assessment of projects for possible
10461	10461	11 inclusion in its applicable planning document or for
10462	10462	12 inclusion in a TIP, giving priority to projects that have
10463	10463	13 a relatively low social cost of carbon:
10464	10464	14 (A) An MPO shall not include any project over
10465	10465	15 $30,000,000 in a TIP unless it has calculated the
10466	10466	16 social cost of carbon resulting from the project over
10467	10467	17 the useful life of the project.
10468	10468	18 (B) Such calculations shall result in an estimate
10469	10469	19 of the social cost of carbon under a no-build scenario
10470	10470	20 and an estimate of the social cost of carbon if the
10471	10471	21 project is built, factoring in the effects of induced
10472	10472	22 demand and other appropriate factors.
10473	10473	23 (C) The estimate of the social cost of carbon must
10474	10474	24 include total additional GHG emissions attributable to
10475	10475	25 the proposed project and shall not be limited to GHG
10476	10476	26 emissions from within the physical boundaries of the

13540	13540	13 Sec. 6. Credit memorandum or refund. If it appears, after
13541	13541	14 claim therefor filed with the Department, that an amount of
13542	13542	15 tax or penalty or interest has been paid which was not due
13543	13543	16 under this Act, whether as the result of a mistake of fact or
13544	13544	17 an error of law, except as hereinafter provided, then the
13545	13545	18 Department shall issue a credit memorandum or refund to the

13547	13547	20 or became a person under legal disability, to his or her legal
13548	13548	21 representative, as such. For purposes of this Section, the tax
13549	13549	22 is deemed to be erroneously paid by a retailer when the
13550	13550	23 manufacturer of a motor vehicle sold by the retailer accepts

13564	13564	3 refund of the purchase price under the New Vehicle Buyer
13565	13565	4 Protection Act, the Department shall issue a credit memorandum
13566	13566	5 or a refund for the amount of tax paid by the retailer under
13567	13567	6 this Act attributable to the initial sale of that vehicle.
13568	13568	7 Claims submitted by the retailer are subject to the same
13569	13569	8 restrictions and procedures provided for in this Act. If it is
13570	13570	9 determined that the Department should issue a credit
13571	13571	10 memorandum or refund, the Department may first apply the
13572	13572	11 amount thereof against any tax or penalty or interest due or to
13573	13573	12 become due under this Act or under the Use Tax Act, the Service
13574	13574	13 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act, any local

13581	13581	20 from the person who made the erroneous payment. If no tax or
13582	13582	21 penalty or interest is due and no proceeding is pending to
13583	13583	22 determine whether such person is indebted to the Department
13584	13584	23 for tax or penalty or interest, the credit memorandum or
13585	13585	24 refund shall be issued to the claimant; or (in the case of a

13678	13678	9 any other source than from his or her vendor, nor to be
13679	13679	10 relieved of such burden in any manner whatsoever. No credit
13680	13680	11 may be allowed or refund made for any amount paid by or
13681	13681	12 collected from any claimant unless it appears that the
13682	13682	13 claimant has unconditionally repaid, to the purchaser, any
13683	13683	14 amount collected from the purchaser and retained by the
13684	13684	15 claimant with respect to the same transaction under the Use
13685	13685	16 Tax Act.
13686	13686	17 Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Section
13687	13687	18 shall bear interest at the rate and in the manner specified in
13688	13688	19 the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
13689	13689	20 In case the Department determines that the claimant is
13690	13690	21 entitled to a refund, such refund shall be made only from the
13691	13691	22 Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund or from such appropriation
13692	13692	23 as may be available for that purpose, as appropriate. If it
13693	13693	24 appears unlikely that the amount available would permit
13694	13694	25 everyone having a claim allowed during the period covered by
13695	13695	26 such appropriation or from the Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund

13708	13708	3 payment of refunds in hardship cases and shall define what
13709	13709	4 types of cases qualify as hardship cases.
13710	13710	5 If a retailer who has failed to pay retailers' occupation
13711	13711	6 tax on gross receipts from retail sales is required by the
13712	13712	7 Department to pay such tax, such retailer, without filing any
13713	13713	8 formal claim with the Department, shall be allowed to take
13714	13714	9 credit against such retailers' occupation tax liability to the
13715	13715	10 extent, if any, to which such retailer has paid an amount
13716	13716	11 equivalent to retailers' occupation tax or has paid use tax in
13717	13717	12 error to his or her vendor or vendors of the same tangible
13718	13718	13 personal property which such retailer bought for resale and
13719	13719	14 did not first use before selling it, and no penalty or interest
13720	13720	15 shall be charged to such retailer on the amount of such credit.
13721	13721	16 However, when such credit is allowed to the retailer by the
13722	13722	17 Department, the vendor is precluded from refunding any of that
13723	13723	18 tax to the retailer and filing a claim for credit or refund
13724	13724	19 with respect thereto with the Department. The provisions of
13725	13725	20 this amendatory Act shall be applied retroactively, regardless
13726	13726	21 of the date of the transaction.

13811	13811	SB3936 - 388 - LRB103 40367 AWJ 72644 b
13812	13812	1 entered an order in the case of Oak Park Arms Associates v.
13813	13813	2 Whitley (No. 92 L 51045), in which it found that Public Act
13814	13814	3 85-1135 violates the single subject clause of the Illinois
13815	13815	4 Constitution (Article IV, Section 8(d)). As of the time
13816	13816	5 this Act was prepared, the order declaring P.A. 85-1135
13817	13817	6 invalid has been vacated but the case is subject to
13818	13818	7 appeal.
13819	13819	8 (4) The tax provisions of Public Act 85-1135 affect
13820	13820	9 many areas of vital concern to the people of this State.
13821	13821	10 The disruption of the tax reform contained in those
13822	13822	11 provisions could constitute a grave threat to the
13823	13823	12 continued health, safety, and welfare of the people of
13824	13824	13 this State.
13825	13825	14 (b) It is the purpose of this Act to prevent or minimize
13826	13826	15 any problems relating to taxation that may result from
13827	13827	16 challenges to the constitutional validity of Public Act
13828	13828	17 85-1135, by (1) re-enacting provisions from Public Act 85-1135
13829	13829	18 and (2) validating all actions taken in reliance on those
13830	13830	19 provisions from Public Act 85-1135.
13831	13831	20 (c) Because Public Act 86-962, effective January 1, 1990,
13832	13832	21 renumbered Sections 24a-1, 24a-2, 24a-3, 24a-4, and 25.05 of
13833	13833	22 the Counties Code, this Act contains those provisions as
13834	13834	23 renumbered under Sections 5-1006, 5-1007, 5-1008, 5-1009, and
13835	13835	24 5-1024 of the Counties Code. Because Public Act 86-1475,
13836	13836	25 effective January 10, 1991, resectioned Section 3 of the Use
13837	13837	26 Tax Act, Section 3 of the Service Use Tax Act, Section 3 of the

13848	13848	1 Service Occupation Tax Act, and Section 2 of the Retailers'
13849	13849	2 Occupation Tax Act, this Act contains those provisions as
13850	13850	3 resectioned under Sections 3, 3-5, 3-10, 3-15, 3-20, 3-25,
13851	13851	4 3-30, 3-35, 3-40, 3-45, 3-50, 3-55, 3-60, 3-65, 3-70, 3-75,

13854	13854	7 Service Use Tax Act; Sections 3, 3-5, 3-10, 3-15, 3-20, 3-25,
13855	13855	8 3-30, 3-35, 3-40, 3-45, and 3-50 of the Service Occupation Tax
13856	13856	9 Act; and Sections 2, 2-5, 2-10, 2-15, 2-20, 2-25, 2-30, 2-35,
13857	13857	10 2-40, 2-45, 2-50, 2-55, 2-60, 2-65 of the Retailers'
13858	13858	11 Occupation Tax Act. Because Public Act 85-1440, effective
13859	13859	12 February 1, 1989, renumbered Section 6z-16 of the State
13860	13860	13 Finance Act and Section .01 of the State Revenue Sharing Act,
13861	13861	14 this Act contains those provisions as renumbered under Section
13862	13862	15 6z-18 of the State Finance Act and Section 0.1 of the State
13863	13863	16 Revenue Sharing Act. Sections 10b of the Use Tax Act, 10b of
13864	13864	17 the Service Use Tax Act, 20.1 of the Service Occupation Tax
13865	13865	18 Act, and 6d of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act have been
13866	13866	19 omitted from this Act because they were repealed by Public Act
13867	13867	20 87-1258, effective January 7, 1993.
13868	13868	21 (d) This Act re-enacts Section 1 of Article I of Public Act
13869	13869	22 85-1135; Sections 8-11-1, 8-11-1.1, 8-11-1.2, 8-11-1.3,

13904	13904	21 intended to remove any questions as to the validity or content
13905	13905	22 of those Sections; it is not intended to supersede any other

14735	14735	1 funded ratio of the total assets of the Retirement Plan to its
14736	14736	2 total actuarially determined liabilities. A report containing
14737	14737	3 that determination and the actuarial assumptions on which it
14738	14738	4 is based shall be filed with the Authority, the
14739	14739	5 representatives of its participating employees, the Auditor
14740	14740	6 General of the State of Illinois, and the Metropolitan
14741	14741	7 Mobility Regional Transportation Authority. If the funded
14742	14742	8 ratio is projected to decline below 60% in any year before
14743	14743	9 2040, the Board of Trustees shall also determine the increased
14744	14744	10 contribution required each year as a level percentage of
14745	14745	11 payroll over the years remaining until 2040 using the
14746	14746	12 projected unit credit actuarial cost method so the funded
14747	14747	13 ratio does not decline below 60% and include that
14748	14748	14 determination in its report. If the actual funded ratio
14749	14749	15 declines below 60% in any year prior to 2040, the Board of
14750	14750	16 Trustees shall also determine the increased contribution
14751	14751	17 required each year as a level percentage of payroll during the
14752	14752	18 years after the then current year using the projected unit
14753	14753	19 credit actuarial cost method so the funded ratio is projected
14754	14754	20 to reach at least 60% no later than 10 years after the then
14755	14755	21 current year and include that determination in its report.
14756	14756	22 Within 60 days after receiving the report, the Auditor General
14757	14757	23 shall review the determination and the assumptions on which it
14758	14758	24 is based, and if he finds that the determination and the
14759	14759	25 assumptions on which it is based are unreasonable in the
14760	14760	26 aggregate, he shall issue a new determination of the funded

14772	14772	2 contribution required each year as a level percentage of
14773	14773	3 payroll over the years remaining until 2040 using the
14774	14774	4 projected unit credit actuarial cost method so the funded
14775	14775	5 ratio does not decline below 60%, or, in the event of an actual
14776	14776	6 decline below 60%, so the funded ratio is projected to reach
14777	14777	7 60% by no later than 10 years after the then current year. If
14778	14778	8 the Board of Trustees or the Auditor General determine that an
14779	14779	9 increased contribution is required to meet the funded ratio
14780	14780	10 required by the subsection, effective January 1 following the
14781	14781	11 determination or 30 days after such determination, whichever
14782	14782	12 is later, one-third of the increased contribution shall be
14783	14783	13 paid by participating employees and two-thirds by the
14784	14784	14 Authority, in addition to the contributions required by this
14785	14785	15 subsection (1).

14787	14787	17 contribution to the Retirement Plan for each fiscal year shall
14788	14788	18 be an amount determined by the Board of Trustees of the

14790	14790	20 the Retirement Plan up to 90% of its total actuarial
14791	14791	21 liabilities by the end of 2059. Participating employees shall

14793	14793	23 the Authority shall be responsible for two-thirds of the
14794	14794	24 required contribution. In making these determinations, the

14807	14807	1 remaining to and including fiscal year 2059 using the
14808	14808	2 projected unit credit actuarial cost method. A report
14809	14809	3 containing that determination and the actuarial assumptions on
14810	14810	4 which it is based shall be filed by September 15 of each year
14811	14811	5 with the Authority, the representatives of its participating
14812	14812	6 employees, the Auditor General of the State of Illinois and
14813	14813	7 the Metropolitan Mobility Regional Transportation Authority.
14814	14814	8 If the funded ratio is projected to fail to reach 90% by
14815	14815	9 December 31, 2059, the Board of Trustees shall also determine
14816	14816	10 the increased contribution required each year as a level
14817	14817	11 percentage of payroll over the years remaining until December
14818	14818	12 31, 2059 using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method
14819	14819	13 so the funded ratio will meet 90% by December 31, 2059 and
14820	14820	14 include that determination in its report. Within 60 days after
14821	14821	15 receiving the report, the Auditor General shall review the
14822	14822	16 determination and the assumptions on which it is based and if
14823	14823	17 he finds that the determination and the assumptions on which
14824	14824	18 it is based are unreasonable in the aggregate, he shall issue a
14825	14825	19 new determination of the funded ratio, the assumptions on
14826	14826	20 which it is based and the increased contribution required each
14827	14827	21 year as a level percentage of payroll over the years remaining
14828	14828	22 until December 31, 2059 using the projected unit credit
14829	14829	23 actuarial cost method so the funded ratio reaches no less than
14830	14830	24 90% by December 31, 2059. If the Board of Trustees or the
14831	14831	25 Auditor General determine that an increased contribution is
14832	14832	26 required to meet the funded ratio required by this subsection,

15472	15472	19 and maintained by the Metropolitan Mobility Authority Regional
15473	15473	20 Transportation Authority, the Suburban Bus Division, or the
15474	15474	21 Commuter Rail Division, or any combination thereof, under the
15475	15475	22 general authority of the Metropolitan Mobility Regional

15489	15489	1 covered by a collective bargaining agreement. "Affected
15490	15490	2 pension plan" does not include any pension fund or retirement

15492	15492	4 "Authority" means the Metropolitan Mobility Regional

15494	15494	6 Mobility Regional Transportation Authority Act.
15495	15495	7 "Contributing employer" means an employer that is required
15496	15496	8 to make contributions to an affected pension plan under the
15497	15497	9 terms of that plan.
15498	15498	10 "Funding ratio" means the ratio of an affected pension
15499	15499	11 plan's assets to the present value of its actuarial
15500	15500	12 liabilities, as determined at its latest actuarial valuation
15501	15501	13 in accordance with applicable actuarial assumptions and
15502	15502	14 recommendations.
15503	15503	15 "Under-funded pension plan" or "under-funded" means an
15504	15504	16 affected pension plan that, at the time of its last actuarial

15507	15507	19 plan have a general duty to make the required employer
15508	15508	20 contributions to the affected pension plan in a timely manner
15509	15509	21 in accordance with the terms of the plan. A contributing
15510	15510	22 employer must make contributions to the affected pension plan
15511	15511	23 as required under this subsection and, if applicable,
15512	15512	24 subsection (c); a contributing employer may make any
15513	15513	25 additional contributions provided for by the board of the

15525	15525	1 (c) In the case of an affected pension plan that is
15526	15526	2 under-funded on January 1, 2009 or becomes under-funded at any
15527	15527	3 time after that date, the contributing employers shall
15528	15528	4 contribute to the affected pension plan, in addition to all
15529	15529	5 amounts otherwise required, amounts sufficient to bring the
15530	15530	6 funding ratio of the affected pension plan up to 90% in
15531	15531	7 accordance with an amortization schedule adopted jointly by
15532	15532	8 the contributing employers and the trustee of the affected
15533	15533	9 pension plan. The amortization schedule may extend for any
15534	15534	10 period up to a maximum of 50 years and shall provide for
15535	15535	11 additional employer contributions in substantially equal
15536	15536	12 annual amounts over the selected period. If the contributing
15537	15537	13 employers and the trustee of the affected pension plan do not
15538	15538	14 agree on an appropriate period for the amortization schedule
15539	15539	15 within 6 months of the date of determination that the plan is
15540	15540	16 under-funded, then the amortization schedule shall be based on
15541	15541	17 a period of 50 years.
15542	15542	18 In the case of an affected pension plan that has more than
15543	15543	19 one contributing employer, each contributing employer's share
15544	15544	20 of the total additional employer contributions required under
15545	15545	21 this subsection shall be determined: (i) in proportion to the
15546	15546	22 amounts, if any, by which the respective contributing
15547	15547	23 employers have failed to meet their contribution obligations
15548	15548	24 under the terms of the affected pension plan; or (ii) if all of
15549	15549	25 the contributing employers have met their contribution
15550	15550	26 obligations under the terms of the affected pension plan, then

15561	15561	1 in the same proportion as they are required to contribute
15562	15562	2 under the terms of that plan. In the case of an affected
15563	15563	3 pension plan that has only one contributing employer, that
15564	15564	4 contributing employer is responsible for all of the additional
15565	15565	5 employer contributions required under this subsection.
15566	15566	6 If an under-funded pension plan is determined to have
15567	15567	7 achieved a funding ratio of at least 90% during the period when
15568	15568	8 an amortization schedule is in force under this Section, the
15569	15569	9 contributing employers and the trustee of the affected pension
15570	15570	10 plan, acting jointly, may cancel the amortization schedule and
15571	15571	11 the contributing employers may cease making additional
15572	15572	12 contributions under this subsection for as long as the
15573	15573	13 affected pension plan retains a funding ratio of at least 90%.
15574	15574	14 (d) Beginning January 1, 2009, if the Authority fails to
15575	15575	15 pay to an affected pension fund within 30 days after it is due
15576	15576	16 (i) any employer contribution that it is required to make as a
15577	15577	17 contributing employer, (ii) any additional employer
15578	15578	18 contribution that it is required to pay under subsection (c),
15579	15579	19 or (iii) any payment that it is required to make under
15580	15580	20 subsection (d) of Section 3.03 of the Metropolitan Mobility
15581	15581	21 Authority Act as a result of Section 4.02a or 4.02b of the
15582	15582	22 Regional Transportation Authority Act (repealed), the trustee
15583	15583	23 of the affected pension fund shall promptly so notify the
15584	15584	24 Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability, the
15585	15585	25 Mayor of Chicago, the Governor, and the General Assembly.

15601	15601	5 not affect or impair the right of any contributing employer or
15602	15602	6 its employees to collectively bargain the amount or level of
15603	15603	7 employee contributions to an affected pension plan, to the

15609	15609	13 of the benefits provided under this Code if he or she is
15610	15610	14 convicted of a felony relating to, arising out of, or in

15777	15777	9 of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
15778	15778	10 improved part of the redevelopment project area:
15779	15779	11 (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair
15780	15780	12 or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary
15781	15781	13 structural components of buildings or improvements in
15782	15782	14 such a combination that a documented building
15783	15783	15 condition analysis determines that major repair is
15784	15784	16 required or the defects are so serious and so
15785	15785	17 extensive that the buildings must be removed.
15786	15786	18 (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of
15787	15787	19 falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited
15788	15788	20 for the original use.

15818	15818	14 the presence of structures below minimum code
15819	15819	15 standards.
15820	15820	16 (F) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
15821	15821	17 that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that
15822	15822	18 represent an adverse influence on the area because of
15823	15823	19 the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.
15824	15824	20 (G) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
15825	15825	21 facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for

15841	15841	1 rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room
15842	15842	2 area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary
15843	15843	3 facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of
15844	15844	4 garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities,
15845	15845	5 hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
15846	15846	6 preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms
15847	15847	7 and units within a building.
15848	15848	8 (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
15849	15849	9 utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
15850	15850	10 sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and

15852	15852	12 Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
15853	15853	13 insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
15854	15854	14 redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
15855	15855	15 antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
15856	15856	16 lacking within the redevelopment project area.
15857	15857	17 (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
15858	15858	18 structures and community facilities. The
15859	15859	19 over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
15860	15860	20 buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
15861	15861	21 Examples of problem conditions warranting the
15862	15862	22 designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive
15863	15863	23 land coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings
15864	15864	24 either improperly situated on parcels or located on
15865	15865	25 parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
15866	15866	26 present-day standards of development for health and

15877	15877	1 safety and (ii) the presence of multiple buildings on
15878	15878	2 a single parcel. For there to be a finding of excessive
15879	15879	3 land coverage, these parcels must exhibit one or more
15880	15880	4 of the following conditions: insufficient provision
15881	15881	5 for light and air within or around buildings,
15882	15882	6 increased threat of spread of fire due to the close
15883	15883	7 proximity of buildings, lack of adequate or proper
15884	15884	8 access to a public right-of-way, lack of reasonably
15885	15885	9 required off-street parking, or inadequate provision
15886	15886	10 for loading and service.
15887	15887	11 (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence
15888	15888	12 of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings
15889	15889	13 occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
15890	15890	14 considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
15891	15891	15 the surrounding area.
15892	15892	16 (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
15893	15893	17 redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
15894	15894	18 Environmental Protection Agency or United States
15895	15895	19 Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
15896	15896	20 or a study conducted by an independent consultant
15897	15897	21 recognized as having expertise in environmental
15898	15898	22 remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
15899	15899	23 hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
15900	15900	24 storage tanks required by State or federal law,
15901	15901	25 provided that the remediation costs constitute a

15913	15913	1 redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
15914	15914	2 (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
15915	15915	3 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
15916	15916	4 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
15917	15917	5 This means that the development occurred prior to the
15918	15918	6 adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
15919	15919	7 other community plan or that the plan was not followed
15920	15920	8 at the time of the area's development. This factor
15921	15921	9 must be documented by evidence of adverse or
15922	15922	10 incompatible land-use relationships, inadequate street
15923	15923	11 layout, improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate
15924	15924	12 shape and size to meet contemporary development
15925	15925	13 standards, or other evidence demonstrating an absence
15926	15926	14 of effective community planning.
15927	15927	15 (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
15928	15928	16 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
15929	15929	17 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
15930	15930	18 the redevelopment project area is designated or is
15931	15931	19 increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
15932	15932	20 balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
15933	15933	21 calendar years for which information is available or
15934	15934	22 is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the

15950	15950	2 (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
15951	15951	3 project area is impaired by a combination of 2 or more of
15952	15952	4 the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
15953	15953	5 that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a
15954	15954	6 municipality may reasonably find that the factor is
15955	15955	7 clearly present within the intent of the Act and (ii)
15956	15956	8 reasonably distributed throughout the vacant part of the
15957	15957	9 redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
15958	15958	10 (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that results
15959	15959	11 in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations
15960	15960	12 of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be
15961	15961	13 difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner
15962	15962	14 compatible with contemporary standards and
15963	15963	15 requirements, or platting that failed to create
15964	15964	16 rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or that created
15965	15965	17 inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
15966	15966	18 other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements
15967	15967	19 for public utilities.
15968	15968	20 (B) Diversity of ownership of parcels of vacant
15969	15969	21 land sufficient in number to retard or impede the
15970	15970	22 ability to assemble the land for development.
15971	15971	23 (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist
15972	15972	24 or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
15973	15973	25 the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.

15987	15987	3 (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
15988	15988	4 Protection Agency or United States Environmental
15989	15989	5 Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
15990	15990	6 conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
15991	15991	7 having expertise in environmental remediation has
15992	15992	8 determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous
15993	15993	9 waste, hazardous substances, or underground storage
15994	15994	10 tanks required by State or federal law, provided that
15995	15995	11 the remediation costs constitute a material impediment
15996	15996	12 to the development or redevelopment of the
15997	15997	13 redevelopment project area.
15998	15998	14 (F) The total equalized assessed value of the
15999	15999	15 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
16000	16000	16 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
16001	16001	17 the redevelopment project area is designated or is
16002	16002	18 increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
16003	16003	19 balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
16004	16004	20 calendar years for which information is available or
16005	16005	21 is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the

16021	16021	1 (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
16022	16022	2 project area is impaired by one of the following factors
16023	16023	3 that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
16024	16024	4 meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
16025	16025	5 find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
16026	16026	6 of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout
16027	16027	7 the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which
16028	16028	8 it pertains:
16029	16029	9 (A) The area consists of one or more unused
16030	16030	10 quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.
16031	16031	11 (B) The area consists of unused rail yards, rail
16032	16032	12 tracks, or railroad rights-of-way.
16033	16033	13 (C) The area, prior to its designation, is subject
16034	16034	14 to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
16035	16035	15 property in the area as certified by a registered
16036	16036	16 professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
16037	16037	17 or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
16038	16038	18 part of the area and contributes to flooding within
16039	16039	19 the same watershed, but only if the redevelopment
16040	16040	20 project provides for facilities or improvements to
16041	16041	21 contribute to the alleviation of all or part of the
16042	16042	22 flooding.
16043	16043	23 (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
16044	16044	24 disposal site containing earth, stone, building
16045	16045	25 debris, or similar materials that were removed from
16046	16046	26 construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge sites.

16057	16057	1 (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area is not less
16058	16058	2 than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
16059	16059	3 vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used
16060	16060	4 for commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years
16061	16061	5 prior to the designation of the redevelopment project
16062	16062	6 area), and the area meets at least one of the factors
16063	16063	7 itemized in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area
16064	16064	8 has been designated as a town or village center by
16065	16065	9 ordinance or comprehensive plan adopted prior to
16066	16066	10 January 1, 1982, and the area has not been developed
16067	16067	11 for that designated purpose.
16068	16068	12 (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area
16069	16069	13 immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has
16070	16070	14 been substantial private investment in the immediately
16071	16071	15 surrounding area.
16072	16072	16 (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been
16073	16073	17 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
16074	16074	18 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
16075	16075	19 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
16076	16076	20 in this Section prior to that date.
16077	16077	21 On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
16078	16078	22 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
16079	16079	23 project area located within the territorial limits of the
16080	16080	24 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
16081	16081	25 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
16082	16082	26 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the

16093	16093	1 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
16094	16094	2 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
16095	16095	3 (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
16096	16096	4 neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
16097	16097	5 components of buildings or improvements in such a
16098	16098	6 combination that a documented building condition analysis
16099	16099	7 determines that major repair is required or the defects
16100	16100	8 are so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
16101	16101	9 removed.
16102	16102	10 (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling
16103	16103	11 into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the
16104	16104	12 original use.
16105	16105	13 (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
16106	16106	14 including, but not limited to, major defects in the
16107	16107	15 secondary building components such as doors, windows,
16108	16108	16 porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With respect
16109	16109	17 to surface improvements, that the condition of roadways,
16110	16110	18 alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and
16111	16111	19 surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including,
16112	16112	20 but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
16113	16113	21 depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding
16114	16114	22 through paved surfaces.
16115	16115	23 (4) Presence of structures below minimum code
16116	16116	24 standards. All structures that do not meet the standards
16117	16117	25 of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other
16118	16118	26 governmental codes applicable to property, but not
16119	16119

16129	16129	1 including housing and property maintenance codes.
16130	16130	2 (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
16131	16131	3 structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or
16132	16132	4 local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
16133	16133	5 of structures below minimum code standards.
16134	16134	6 (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
16135	16135	7 that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent
16136	16136	8 an adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
16137	16137	9 extent, or duration of the vacancies.
16138	16138	10 (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
16139	16139	11 facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
16140	16140	12 or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
16141	16141	13 that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
16142	16142	14 other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light
16143	16143	15 and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of
16144	16144	16 skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and
16145	16145	17 improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window
16146	16146	18 area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the
16147	16147	19 absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,
16148	16148	20 bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and
16149	16149	21 structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to
16150	16150	22 and from all rooms and units within a building.
16151	16151	23 (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
16152	16152	24 utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
16153	16153	25 sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
16154	16154	26 electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.

16164	16164	SB3936 - 454 - LRB103 40367 AWJ 72644 b
16165	16165	1 Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
16166	16166	2 insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
16167	16167	3 redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated, antiquated,
16168	16168	4 obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii) lacking within the
16169	16169	5 redevelopment project area.
16170	16170	6 (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
16171	16171	7 structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
16172	16172	8 use of property and the crowding of buildings and
16173	16173	9 accessory facilities onto a site. Examples of problem
16174	16174	10 conditions warranting the designation of an area as one
16175	16175	11 exhibiting excessive land coverage are: the presence of
16176	16176	12 buildings either improperly situated on parcels or located
16177	16177	13 on parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
16178	16178	14 present-day standards of development for health and safety
16179	16179	15 and the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
16180	16180	16 For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
16181	16181	17 these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
16182	16182	18 conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
16183	16183	19 within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
16184	16184	20 fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of
16185	16185	21 adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack
16186	16186	22 of reasonably required off-street parking, or inadequate
16187	16187	23 provision for loading and service.
16188	16188	24 (10) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence of
16189	16189	25 incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by
16190	16190	26 inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered to be
16191	16191

16201	16201	1 noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the surrounding
16202	16202	2 area.
16203	16203	3 (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
16204	16204	4 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
16205	16205	5 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
16206	16206	6 means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
16207	16207	7 by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
16208	16208	8 plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
16209	16209	9 area's development. This factor must be documented by
16210	16210	10 evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
16211	16211	11 relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
16212	16212	12 subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
16213	16213	13 contemporary development standards, or other evidence
16214	16214	14 demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.
16215	16215	15 (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
16216	16216	16 Protection Agency or United States Environmental
16217	16217	17 Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
16218	16218	18 conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
16219	16219	19 having expertise in environmental remediation has
16220	16220	20 determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
16221	16221	21 hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
16222	16222	22 required by State or federal law, provided that the
16223	16223	23 remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the
16224	16224	24 development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project
16225	16225	25 area.
16226	16226	26 (13) The total equalized assessed value of the

16249	16249	13 industrial, research or transportation enterprise, of
16250	16250	14 facilities to include but not be limited to factories, mills,
16251	16251	15 processing plants, assembly plants, packing plants,
16252	16252	16 fabricating plants, industrial distribution centers,
16253	16253	17 warehouses, repair overhaul or service facilities, freight
16254	16254	18 terminals, research facilities, test facilities or railroad
16255	16255	19 facilities.
16256	16256	20 (d) "Industrial park conservation area" means an area
16257	16257	21 within the boundaries of a redevelopment project area located
16258	16258	22 within the territorial limits of a municipality that is a
16259	16259	23 labor surplus municipality or within 1 1/2 miles of the
16260	16260	24 territorial limits of a municipality that is a labor surplus
16261	16261	25 municipality if the area is annexed to the municipality; which

16276	16276	4 area contiguous to such vacant land.
16277	16277	5 (e) "Labor surplus municipality" means a municipality in
16278	16278	6 which, at any time during the 6 months before the municipality
16279	16279	7 by ordinance designates an industrial park conservation area,
16280	16280	8 the unemployment rate was over 6% and was also 100% or more of
16281	16281	9 the national average unemployment rate for that same time as
16282	16282	10 published in the United States Department of Labor Bureau of
16283	16283	11 Labor Statistics publication entitled "The Employment
16284	16284	12 Situation" or its successor publication. For the purpose of
16285	16285	13 this subsection, if unemployment rate statistics for the
16286	16286	14 municipality are not available, the unemployment rate in the
16287	16287	15 municipality shall be deemed to be the same as the
16288	16288	16 unemployment rate in the principal county in which the
16289	16289	17 municipality is located.
16290	16290	18 (f) "Municipality" shall mean a city, village,

16673	16673	5 without the adoption of the redevelopment plan, provided,
16674	16674	6 however, that such a finding shall not be required with
16675	16675	7 respect to any redevelopment project area located within a
16676	16676	8 transit facility improvement area established pursuant to
16677	16677	9 Section 11-74.4-3.3.
16678	16678	10 (2) The municipality finds that the redevelopment plan
16679	16679	11 and project conform to the comprehensive plan for the

16705	16705	1 existing redevelopment plan to conform to this paragraph
16706	16706	2 (3) as amended by Public Act 91-478, which municipal
16707	16707	3 ordinance may be adopted without further hearing or notice
16708	16708	4 and without complying with the procedures provided in this

16711	16711	7 redevelopment project area.
16712	16712	8 (3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an
16713	16713	9 industrial park conservation area, also that the
16714	16714	10 municipality is a labor surplus municipality and that the
16715	16715	11 implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce
16716	16716	12 unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
16717	16717	13 facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts
16718	16718	14 that extend into the redevelopment project area.
16719	16719	15 (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
16720	16720	16 under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
16721	16721	17 redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after
16722	16722	18 January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the
16723	16723	19 redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
16724	16724	20 developed without the use of such incremental revenues,
16725	16725	21 and (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively
16726	16726	22 utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
16727	16727	23 area.
16728	16728	24 (5) If: (a) the redevelopment plan will not result in
16729	16729	25 displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited

16747	16747	7 environmental effects under the National Environmental
16748	16748	8 Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., then a housing
16749	16749	9 impact study need not be performed. If, however, the

17189	17189	17 (i) no increased costs shall be reimbursed
17190	17190	18 unless the school district certifies that each of
17191	17191	19 the schools affected by the assisted housing

17252	17252	8 Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue is received
17253	17253	9 as a result of the assisted housing units. This paragraph
17254	17254	10 (7.7) applies only if (i) the library district is located
17255	17255	11 in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension

17257	17257	13 in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
17258	17258	14 Limitation Law but the district is prohibited by any other
17259	17259	15 law from increasing its tax levy rate without a prior

17284	17284	4 the Total Operating Expenditures Per Capita for the
17285	17285	5 library in the previous fiscal year. The municipality may
17286	17286	6 deduct from the amount that it must pay to a library
17287	17287	7 district under this paragraph any amount that it has
17288	17288	8 voluntarily paid to the library district from the tax
17289	17289	9 increment revenue. The amount paid to a library district
17290	17290	10 under this paragraph (7.7) shall be no more than 2% of the
17291	17291	11 amount produced by the assisted housing units and

17293	17293	13 A library district is not eligible for any payment
17294	17294	14 under this paragraph (7.7) unless the library district has
17295	17295	15 experienced an increase in the number of patrons from the
17296	17296	16 municipality that created the tax-increment-financing
17297	17297	17 district since the designation of the redevelopment

17299	17299	19 Any library district seeking payment under this
17300	17300	20 paragraph (7.7) shall, after July 1 and before September

17302	17302	22 evidence to support its claim for reimbursement before the
17303	17303	23 municipality shall be required to approve or make the
17304	17304	24 payment to the library district. If the library district
17305	17305	25 fails to provide the information during this period in any

19139	19139	5 utility to provide an accurate and full accounting of all
19140	19140	6 expenses related to electrical distribution infrastructure as
19141	19141	7 it relates to this Section, and apply appropriate penalties to
19142	19142	8 the extent an electric utility is not accurately tracking all
19143	19143	9 expenses.
19144	19144	10 (b) For purposes of this Section, "electrical distribution
19145	19145	11 infrastructure" includes poles, vaults, service drops,
19146	19146	12 transformers, mounting pads, trenching, conduit, wire, cable,

19149	19149	15 (c) Not later than the next multi-year rate case, each
19150	19150	16 electric utility shall propose a new tariff or rule that

19152	19152	18 electrical distribution infrastructure on the utility side of
19153	19153	19 the customer's meter for all customers installing separate or
19154	19154	20 sub-metered infrastructure to support charging stations, other
19155	19155	21 than those in single-family residences. Each electric utility
19156	19156	22 shall recover its revenue requirement for this work through
19157	19157	23 periodic multi-year rate plan proceedings. In those
19158	19158	24 proceedings, the costs shall be treated like those costs
19159	19159	25 incurred for other necessary distribution infrastructure. The
19160	19160	26 new tariff shall replace the line extension rules currently

19181	19181	11 gas and electric utilities shall take reasonable efforts to
19182	19182	12 ensure that any infrastructure built pursuant this Section is
19183	19183	13 efficiently sized and operated. Such efforts include, but are
19184	19184	14 not necessarily limited to, considering customers' reasonably

19189	19189	19 (a) The purpose of this Section is for the Commission to
19190	19190	20 require electric utilities to explore a new and complementary
19191	19191	21 mechanism for investments by the electric utility in the
19192	19192	22 electrical distribution infrastructure and equipment located
19193	19193	23 on the customer side of the meter that may be needed to charge
19194	19194	24 electric vehicles. Electrical distribution infrastructure that
19195	19195	25 may be needed on the customer side of the meter includes

19206	19206	1 wiring, panels, breaker panels, conduit up to the charger
19207	19207	2 itself and the electric vehicle charger. The new mechanism is
19208	19208	3 an inclusive utility investment with a site-specific recovery
19209	19209	4 mechanism described in subsection (b). The Commission shall
19210	19210	5 require each electric utility to explore this mechanism as an
19211	19211	6 option to complement other incentives offered (such as charger
19212	19212	7 rebates).
19213	19213	8 (b) Inclusive utility investment is seen by the United
19214	19214	9 States Environmental Protection Agency as a promising approach
19215	19215	10 to expanding access to cost-effective more comprehensive
19216	19216	11 efficiency and electrification upgrades for all utility
19217	19217	12 customers. Inclusive utility investment allows for
19218	19218	13 site-specific investments by the electric utility in
19219	19219	14 electrification measures on the customer side of the meter
19220	19220	15 with site-specific cost recovery through a fixed charge on the
19221	19221	16 utility bill of the customer at the metered location. The
19222	19222	17 fixed charge must be no more than the expected energy cost
19223	19223	18 savings resulting from a customer switching from an internal
19224	19224	19 combustion engine vehicle with associated fuel costs to an
19225	19225	20 electric vehicle with associated electric charging costs on an
19226	19226	21 annual basis, and the cost recovery term must be limited to no
19227	19227	22 more than the useful life of the charging equipment. The fixed
19228	19228	23 charge shall be calculated taking into account equipment,
19229	19229	24 installation, and administrative costs, and all available
19230	19230	25 rebates and incentives should be applied to reduce total
19231	19231	26 project costs.
