67	67	1 such service and a public need exists to provide for, aid,
68	68	2 and assist public transportation in the metropolitan
69	69	3 region, consisting of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry,
70	70	4 and Will counties.
71	71	5 (3) Comprehensive and coordinated regional public
72	72	6 transportation is essential to public health, safety, and
73	73	7 welfare. It is essential to ensuring economic well-being,
74	74	8 addressing the climate crisis, providing affordable
75	75	9 transportation options for residents at all income levels,
76	76	10 conserving sources of energy and land for open space,
77	77	11 reducing traffic congestion, and providing for and
78	78	12 maintaining a healthful environment for the benefit of
79	79	13 present and future generations in the metropolitan region.
80	80	14 Public transportation decreases air pollution and other
81	81	15 environmental hazards as well as the tragic loss of life
82	82	16 from crashes and allows for more efficient land use and
83	83	17 planning.
84	84	18 (4) Public transportation advances equity and equal
85	85	19 opportunity by improving the mobility of the public and
86	86	20 providing more people with greater access to jobs,
87	87	21 commercial businesses, schools, medical facilities, and
88	88	22 cultural attractions through affordable public
89	89	23 transportation.
90	90	24 (5) Public transportation in the metropolitan region
91	91	25 is being threatened by grave financial conditions. With
92	92	26 existing methods of financing, coordination, structure,

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

139	139	1 effectively oversee the public transportation system.
140	140	2 (9) A substantial or total loss of public
141	141	3 transportation services or any segment of public
142	142	4 transportation services would create an emergency
143	143	5 threatening the safety and well-being of the people in the
144	144	6 metropolitan region.
145	145	7 (10) To meet the urgent needs of the people of the
146	146	8 metropolitan region, avoid a transportation emergency, and
147	147	9 provide financially sound methods of managing the
148	148	10 provision of public transportation services in the
149	149	11 metropolitan region, it is necessary to create one truly
150	150	12 integrated regional transit system instead of 3 separate
151	151	13 transit systems by combining the existing Service Boards
152	152	14 and Regional Transportation Authority into one agency.
153	153	15 (11) The economic vitality of Illinois requires
154	154	16 regionwide and systemwide efforts to increase ridership on
155	155	17 the transit systems, improve roadway operations within the
156	156	18 metropolitan region, and allocate resources for
157	157	19 transportation so as to assist in the development of an
158	158	20 adequate, efficient, equitable, and coordinated regional
159	159	21 public transportation system that is in a state of good
160	160	22 repair.
161	161	23 (b) It is the purpose of this Act to provide for, aid, and
162	162	24 assist public transportation in the metropolitan region
163	163	25 without impairing the overall quality of existing public
164	164	26 transportation by providing for the creation of a single

1671	1671	15 unless the Authority with respect to an individual
1672	1672	16 solicitation determines that a specified number
1673	1673	17 greater than 5 is in the best interest of the Authority
1674	1674	18 and is consistent with the purposes and objectives of

2046	2046	1 mediator shall certify to the parties that an impasse exists.
2047	2047	2 Upon receipt of the mediator's certification, any party to the

2049	2049	4 fact-finder who shall be selected by the parties pursuant to
2050	2050	5 the rules of the American Arbitration Association from a
2051	2051	6 current listing of members of the National Academy of
2052	2052	7 Arbitrators supplied by the American Arbitration Association.
2053	2053	8 The fact-finder shall have the duty to hold hearings, or
2054	2054	9 otherwise take evidence from the parties under such other
2055	2055	10 arrangements as they may agree. Upon completion of the
2056	2056	11 parties' submissions, the fact-finder may issue and make

2061	2061	16 recommendations, or, in cases where neither party requests
2062	2062	17 fact-finding, the Authority shall offer to submit the dispute

2134	2134	18 The goals shall be based on demonstrable evidence of the
2135	2135	19 availability of ready, willing, and able disadvantaged
2136	2136	20 business enterprises relative to all businesses ready,
2137	2137	21 willing, and able to participate in the program's contracts.
2138	2138	22 The program shall require the Authority to monitor the
2139	2139	23 progress of the contractors' obligations with respect to the

2208	2208	22 purposes and powers under this Act, the Authority shall seek
2209	2209	23 to reduce environmental disruption and pollution arising from
2210	2210	24 all forms of transportation of persons within the metropolitan

2222	2222	1 responsibilities for determining how to minimize such
2223	2223	2 disruption and pollution.
2224	2224	3 (b) In recognition of the fact that the transportation
2225	2225	4 sector accounts for approximately a third of the greenhouse
2226	2226	5 gases generated in the State and that public transportation
2227	2227	6 moves people with fewer such emissions, the Authority shall
2228	2228	7 work cooperatively with the Department of Transportation, the
2229	2229	8 Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, the Chicago
2230	2230	9 Metropolitan Agency for Planning, and other units of
2231	2231	10 government to assist them in using investments in public
2232	2232	11 transportation facilities and operations as a tool to help
2233	2233	12 them meet their greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. To
2234	2234	13 the maximum extent allowed by law, the Authority is eligible
2235	2235	14 to receive funding and other assistance from local, state, and
2236	2236	15 federal sources so the Authority can assist in using improved
2237	2237	16 and expanded public transportation in the metropolitan region
2238	2238	17 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution
2239	2239	18 generated by the transportation sector.
2240	2240	19 (c) Subject to all applicable laws, the Authority may
2241	2241	20 participate in market-based environmental remediation
2242	2242	21 programs, including, but not limited to, carbon emissions
2243	2243	22 markets, through which the Authority can realize revenue
2244	2244	23 reflecting the value of greenhouse gas emissions reductions it
2245	2245	24 delivers through public transportation services in the
2246	2246	25 metropolitan region.

3530	3530	2 (a) The Authority shall adopt Service Standards in
3531	3531	3 conjunction with its Strategic Plan and Five-Year Capital
3532	3532	4 Program.
3533	3533	5 (b) The Service Standards shall identify quantitative and
3534	3534	6 qualitative attributes of quality public transit service using
3535	3535	7 metrics drawn from the performance of high-quality transit
3536	3536	8 systems in global metropolitan areas with comparable
3537	3537	9 populations and metropolitan economies as the metropolitan
3538	3538	10 region.
3539	3539	11 (c) The Service Standards shall include a framework that
3540	3540	12 describes the appropriate characteristics for each type of
3541	3541	13 service or mode. These characteristics include, but are not
3542	3542	14 limited to, mode, frequency, time span, vehicle type, stop
3543	3543	15 spacing, vehicle and stop amenities, network connectivity,
3544	3544	16 route directness, route deviation, and coverage of service.
3545	3545	17 (d) The Service Standards shall include the transition of
3546	3546	18 commuter rail in the metropolitan region to a regional rail
3547	3547	19 service pattern or the retention of commuter rail with
3548	3548	20 additional regional rail service.
3549	3549	21 (e) The Service Standards shall cover the entire
3550	3550	22 metropolitan region and include the development of transit
3551	3551	23 propensity thresholds for each type of service or mode.
3552	3552	24 Transit propensity metrics shall include, but are not limited
3553	3553	25 to, population density, employment density, low-income

3565	3565	2 intersection density, and the presence of sidewalks. The
3566	3566	3 Authority shall develop weights for each metric and a scoring
3567	3567	4 system to determine transit propensity. The production of a
3568	3568	5 transit propensity assessment shall be conducted for any
3569	3569	6 proposed new or modified services and constrained to a service
3570	3570	7 or route estimated catchment area. Final determination of the
3571	3571	8 eligibility of each type of service or mode for an area is
3572	3572	9 subject to qualitative review by the Authority once the
3573	3573	10 propensity assessment is completed, reviewed, and evaluated.
3574	3574	11 (f) A local government or group of local governments may
3575	3575	12 petition the Authority to increase the level of transit
3576	3576	13 service provided above what would otherwise be provided
3577	3577	14 through the Service Standards. If a local government or group
3578	3578	15 of local governments demonstrates that the local government or
3579	3579	16 group of local governments have created a transit support
3580	3580	17 overlay district under the Transit-Supportive Development Act
3581	3581	18 or have adopted zoning and other changes that the Authority
3582	3582	19 determines has benefits to the transit system greater than or
3583	3583	20 equal to a transit support overlay district, the Authority
3584	3584	21 shall designate a preliminary amendment to the applicable
3585	3585	22 Service Standards for that area commensurate with the expected
3586	3586	23 increase in transit propensity. The Authority shall determine
3587	3587	24 the incremental cost of providing the service and present it
3588	3588	25 to the local government or group of local governments. Upon

3607	3607	8 Development, the Office of Equitable Transit-Oriented
3608	3608	9 Development shall provide a 50% cost share to the Authority
3609	3609	10 for the increased transit service associated with the Service
3610	3610	11 Standards amendment. The Authority may develop plans to assist
3611	3611	12 local governments in identifying corridors where additional
3612	3612	13 service could be provided through the mechanism described in
3613	3613	14 this subsection.
3614	3614	15 (g) The Service Standards shall be adjusted as appropriate
3615	3615	16 to accommodate the addition of modes of public transportation

4099	4099	4 to fulfill one or more contracts that, by their terms,
4100	4100	5 extend beyond the termination date provided for in the

4103	4103	8 deemed necessary by the Authority to fulfill said contract
4104	4104	9 or contracts. The satisfaction of the requirements

4171	4171	6 (b) The Authority is designated the primary public body in
4172	4172	7 the metropolitan region with authority to apply for and
4173	4173	8 receive grants, loans, or other funds relating to public

4177	4177	12 or transportation agency may apply for and receive any such
4178	4178	13 federal or state capital grants, loans or other funds. A unit
4179	4179	14 of local government or transportation agency shall notify the

4213	4213	13 of selling retail motor fuel for operation of motor vehicles
4214	4214	14 upon public highways. The tax shall be at a rate not to exceed
4215	4215	15 5% of the gross receipts from the sales of motor fuel in the
4216	4216	16 course of the business. The Board may provide details of the
4217	4217	17 tax. The provisions of any tax shall conform, as closely as may
4218	4218	18 be practicable, to the provisions of the Non-Home Rule
4219	4219	19 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, including, without
4220	4220	20 limitation, conformity to penalties with respect to the tax
4221	4221	21 imposed and as to the powers of the Department of Revenue to

4255	4255	19 no responsibility for the collection and enforcement unless
4256	4256	20 the Department agrees with the Authority to undertake the
4257	4257	21 collection and enforcement. As used in this subsection,

4274	4274	2 (e) The Board may impose a Metropolitan Mobility Authority
4275	4275	3 Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged in the
4276	4276	4 business of selling tangible personal property at retail in
4277	4277	5 the metropolitan region. In Cook County, the tax rate shall be
4278	4278	6 1.25% of the gross receipts from sales of tangible personal
4279	4279	7 property taxed at the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation
4280	4280	8 Tax Act and 1% of the gross receipts from other taxable sales
4281	4281	9 made in the course of that business. In DuPage, Kane, Lake,
4282	4282	10 McHenry, and Will counties, the tax rate shall be 0.75% of the
4283	4283	11 gross receipts from all taxable sales made in the course of
4284	4284	12 that business. However, the rate of tax imposed in DuPage,
4285	4285	13 Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties under this Section on
4286	4286	14 sales of aviation fuel shall be 0.25% unless the Authority in
4287	4287	15 DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties has an
4288	4288	16 airport-related purpose and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75%
4289	4289	17 tax on aviation fuel is expended for airport-related purposes.
4290	4290	18 If there is no airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel
4291	4291	19 tax revenue is dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from
4292	4292	20 the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax. The tax imposed under
4293	4293	21 this Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an
4294	4294	22 incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
4295	4295	23 Department of Revenue. The Department has full power to
4296	4296	24 administer and enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and
4297	4297	25 penalties so collected in the manner provided in this

4362	4362	18 also be imposed under subsections (m) and (r).
4363	4363	19 (j) For the purpose of determining whether a tax
4364	4364	20 authorized under this Section is applicable, a retail sale by
4365	4365	21 a producer of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale
4366	4366	22 at retail at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in
4367	4367	23 Illinois is extracted from the earth. This subsection does not

4384	4384	4 resident of another state if that motor vehicle will not be
4385	4385	5 titled in this State.
4386	4386	6 (l) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
4387	4387	7 authorize the Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of
4388	4388	8 engaging in any business that under the United States
4389	4389	9 Constitution may not be made the subject of taxation by this
4390	4390	10 State.

4395	4395	15 incident to making the sales of service, transfer tangible
4396	4396	16 personal property within the metropolitan region, either in
4397	4397	17 the form of tangible personal property or in the form of real

4419	4419	3 of tangible personal property transferred. In DuPage, Kane,

4421	4421	5 the selling price of all tangible personal property
4422	4422	6 transferred. However, the rate of tax imposed in DuPage, Kane,
4423	4423	7 Lake, McHenry, and Will counties under this Section on sales
4424	4424	8 of aviation fuel shall be 0.25% unless the Authority in
4425	4425	9 DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties has an
4426	4426	10 airport-related purpose and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75%
4427	4427	11 tax on aviation fuel is expended for airport-related purposes.
4428	4428	12 If there is no airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel
4429	4429	13 tax revenue is dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from
4430	4430	14 the additional 0.5% of the 0.75% tax.
4431	4431	15 (n) The tax imposed under subsection (m) and all civil
4432	4432	16 penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
4433	4433	17 collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The
4434	4434	18 Department has full power to administer and enforce subsection

4491	4491	3 (p) Whenever the Department determines that a refund
4492	4492	4 should be made under subsection (m) to a claimant instead of
4493	4493	5 issuing a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the
4494	4494	6 State Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for
4495	4495	7 the amount specified, and to the person named in the
4496	4496	8 notification from the Department. The State Treasurer shall
4497	4497	9 pay the refund out of the Metropolitan Mobility Authority
4498	4498	10 Occupation and Use Tax Replacement Fund established under
4499	4499	11 subsection (cc) or the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund,
4500	4500	12 as appropriate.
4501	4501	13 (q) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
4502	4502	14 authorize the Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of
4503	4503	15 engaging in any business that under the Constitution of the
4504	4504	16 United States may not be made the subject of taxation by the
4505	4505	17 State.

4529	4529	5 metropolitan region. The tax shall be collected by the
4530	4530	6 Department of Revenue for the Authority. The tax must be paid
4531	4531	7 to the State, or an exemption determination must be obtained
4532	4532	8 from the Department of Revenue before the title or certificate
4533	4533	9 of registration for the property may be issued. The tax or
4534	4534	10 proof of exemption may be transmitted to the Department by way
4535	4535	11 of the State agency with which, or the State officer with whom,
4536	4536	12 the tangible personal property must be titled or registered if
4537	4537	13 the Department and the State agency or State officer determine
4538	4538	14 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
4539	4539	15 applications for title or registration.
4540	4540	16 (s) The Department has full power to administer and

4608	4608	12 amount to be paid to the Authority shall be the amount
4609	4609	13 collected under this Section during the second preceding
4610	4610	14 calendar month by the Department, less any amount determined
4611	4611	15 by the Department to be necessary for the payment of refunds,

11483	11483	7 tax or penalty or interest has been paid which was not due
11484	11484	8 under this Act, whether as the result of a mistake of fact or

11630	11630	12 In case the Department determines that the claimant is
11631	11631	13 entitled to a refund, such refund shall be made only from the
11632	11632	14 Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund or from such appropriation
11633	11633	15 as may be available for that purpose, as appropriate. If it

11641	11641	23 If a retailer who has failed to pay retailers' occupation
11642	11642	24 tax on gross receipts from retail sales is required by the

11733	11733	9 of the State Revenue Sharing Act.

11742	11742	18 (3) On August 26, 1998, the Cook County Circuit Court
11743	11743	19 entered an order in the case of Oak Park Arms Associates v.
11744	11744	20 Whitley (No. 92 L 51045), in which it found that Public Act
11745	11745	21 85-1135 violates the single subject clause of the Illinois
11746	11746	22 Constitution (Article IV, Section 8(d)). As of the time
11747	11747	23 this Act was prepared, the order declaring P.A. 85-1135
11748	11748	24 invalid has been vacated but the case is subject to
11749	11749	25 appeal.
11750	11750	26 (4) The tax provisions of Public Act 85-1135 affect

11761	11761	1 many areas of vital concern to the people of this State.
11762	11762	2 The disruption of the tax reform contained in those
11763	11763	3 provisions could constitute a grave threat to the
11764	11764	4 continued health, safety, and welfare of the people of
11765	11765	5 this State.
11766	11766	6 (b) It is the purpose of this Act to prevent or minimize
11767	11767	7 any problems relating to taxation that may result from
11768	11768	8 challenges to the constitutional validity of Public Act
11769	11769	9 85-1135, by (1) re-enacting provisions from Public Act 85-1135
11770	11770	10 and (2) validating all actions taken in reliance on those
11771	11771	11 provisions from Public Act 85-1135.
11772	11772	12 (c) Because Public Act 86-962, effective January 1, 1990,
11773	11773	13 renumbered Sections 24a-1, 24a-2, 24a-3, 24a-4, and 25.05 of
11774	11774	14 the Counties Code, this Act contains those provisions as
11775	11775	15 renumbered under Sections 5-1006, 5-1007, 5-1008, 5-1009, and
11776	11776	16 5-1024 of the Counties Code. Because Public Act 86-1475,
11777	11777	17 effective January 10, 1991, resectioned Section 3 of the Use
11778	11778	18 Tax Act, Section 3 of the Service Use Tax Act, Section 3 of the
11779	11779	19 Service Occupation Tax Act, and Section 2 of the Retailers'
11780	11780	20 Occupation Tax Act, this Act contains those provisions as

11800	11800	4 February 1, 1989, renumbered Section 6z-16 of the State
11801	11801	5 Finance Act and Section .01 of the State Revenue Sharing Act,
11802	11802	6 this Act contains those provisions as renumbered under Section
11803	11803	7 6z-18 of the State Finance Act and Section 0.1 of the State
11804	11804	8 Revenue Sharing Act. Sections 10b of the Use Tax Act, 10b of
11805	11805	9 the Service Use Tax Act, 20.1 of the Service Occupation Tax

12653	12653	6 against the amount of required contribution to the Retirement
12654	12654	7 Plan by the Authority under subsection (e)(1) for the
12655	12655	8 following year up to an amount not to exceed 6% of compensation
12656	12656	9 paid by the Authority in that following year.
12657	12657	10 (3) By September 15 of each year beginning in 2009 and
12658	12658	11 ending on December 31, 2039, on the basis of a report prepared
12659	12659	12 by an enrolled actuary retained by the Plan, the Board of
12660	12660	13 Trustees of the Retirement Plan shall determine the estimated
12661	12661	14 funded ratio of the total assets of the Retirement Plan to its
12662	12662	15 total actuarially determined liabilities. A report containing
12663	12663	16 that determination and the actuarial assumptions on which it
12664	12664	17 is based shall be filed with the Authority, the
12665	12665	18 representatives of its participating employees, the Auditor
12666	12666	19 General of the State of Illinois, and the Metropolitan
12667	12667	20 Mobility Regional Transportation Authority. If the funded
12668	12668	21 ratio is projected to decline below 60% in any year before
12669	12669	22 2040, the Board of Trustees shall also determine the increased
12670	12670	23 contribution required each year as a level percentage of
12671	12671	24 payroll over the years remaining until 2040 using the
12672	12672	25 projected unit credit actuarial cost method so the funded
12673	12673	26 ratio does not decline below 60% and include that

12684	12684	1 determination in its report. If the actual funded ratio
12685	12685	2 declines below 60% in any year prior to 2040, the Board of
12686	12686	3 Trustees shall also determine the increased contribution
12687	12687	4 required each year as a level percentage of payroll during the
12688	12688	5 years after the then current year using the projected unit
12689	12689	6 credit actuarial cost method so the funded ratio is projected
12690	12690	7 to reach at least 60% no later than 10 years after the then
12691	12691	8 current year and include that determination in its report.
12692	12692	9 Within 60 days after receiving the report, the Auditor General
12693	12693	10 shall review the determination and the assumptions on which it
12694	12694	11 is based, and if he finds that the determination and the
12695	12695	12 assumptions on which it is based are unreasonable in the
12696	12696	13 aggregate, he shall issue a new determination of the funded
12697	12697	14 ratio, the assumptions on which it is based and the increased
12698	12698	15 contribution required each year as a level percentage of
12699	12699	16 payroll over the years remaining until 2040 using the
12700	12700	17 projected unit credit actuarial cost method so the funded
12701	12701	18 ratio does not decline below 60%, or, in the event of an actual
12702	12702	19 decline below 60%, so the funded ratio is projected to reach
12703	12703	20 60% by no later than 10 years after the then current year. If
12704	12704	21 the Board of Trustees or the Auditor General determine that an
12705	12705	22 increased contribution is required to meet the funded ratio
12706	12706	23 required by the subsection, effective January 1 following the
12707	12707	24 determination or 30 days after such determination, whichever
12708	12708	25 is later, one-third of the increased contribution shall be
12709	12709	26 paid by participating employees and two-thirds by the

12720	12720	1 Authority, in addition to the contributions required by this
12721	12721	2 subsection (1).
12722	12722	3 (4) For the period beginning 2040, the minimum
12723	12723	4 contribution to the Retirement Plan for each fiscal year shall
12724	12724	5 be an amount determined by the Board of Trustees of the
12725	12725	6 Retirement Plan to be sufficient to bring the total assets of
12726	12726	7 the Retirement Plan up to 90% of its total actuarial
12727	12727	8 liabilities by the end of 2059. Participating employees shall
12728	12728	9 be responsible for one-third of the required contribution and
12729	12729	10 the Authority shall be responsible for two-thirds of the
12730	12730	11 required contribution. In making these determinations, the
12731	12731	12 Board of Trustees shall calculate the required contribution
12732	12732	13 each year as a level percentage of payroll over the years
12733	12733	14 remaining to and including fiscal year 2059 using the
12734	12734	15 projected unit credit actuarial cost method. A report
12735	12735	16 containing that determination and the actuarial assumptions on
12736	12736	17 which it is based shall be filed by September 15 of each year
12737	12737	18 with the Authority, the representatives of its participating
12738	12738	19 employees, the Auditor General of the State of Illinois and
12739	12739	20 the Metropolitan Mobility Regional Transportation Authority.
12740	12740	21 If the funded ratio is projected to fail to reach 90% by
12741	12741	22 December 31, 2059, the Board of Trustees shall also determine
12742	12742	23 the increased contribution required each year as a level
12743	12743	24 percentage of payroll over the years remaining until December
12744	12744	25 31, 2059 using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method
12745	12745	26 so the funded ratio will meet 90% by December 31, 2059 and

12756	12756	1 include that determination in its report. Within 60 days after
12757	12757	2 receiving the report, the Auditor General shall review the
12758	12758	3 determination and the assumptions on which it is based and if
12759	12759	4 he finds that the determination and the assumptions on which
12760	12760	5 it is based are unreasonable in the aggregate, he shall issue a
12761	12761	6 new determination of the funded ratio, the assumptions on
12762	12762	7 which it is based and the increased contribution required each
12763	12763	8 year as a level percentage of payroll over the years remaining
12764	12764	9 until December 31, 2059 using the projected unit credit
12765	12765	10 actuarial cost method so the funded ratio reaches no less than
12766	12766	11 90% by December 31, 2059. If the Board of Trustees or the
12767	12767	12 Auditor General determine that an increased contribution is
12768	12768	13 required to meet the funded ratio required by this subsection,
12769	12769	14 effective January 1 following the determination or 30 days
12770	12770	15 after such determination, whichever is later, one-third of the
12771	12771	16 increased contribution shall be paid by participating
12772	12772	17 employees and two-thirds by the Authority, in addition to the
12773	12773	18 contributions required by subsection (e)(1).
12774	12774	19 (5) Beginning in 2060, the minimum contribution for each
12775	12775	20 year shall be the amount needed to maintain the total assets of
12776	12776	21 the Retirement Plan at 90% of the total actuarial liabilities
12777	12777	22 of the Plan, and the contribution shall be funded two-thirds
12778	12778	23 by the Authority and one-third by the participating employees
12779	12779	24 in accordance with this subsection.
12780	12780	25 (f) The Authority shall take the steps necessary to comply

13196	13196	10 of not more than 10 years from each valuation date,
13197	13197	11 which would make the actuarial present value of
13198	13198	12 projected contributions and trust income plus assets
13199	13199	13 equal to or exceed the actuarial present value of
13200	13200	14 projected benefits expected to be paid to current and
13201	13201	15 future retirees and their dependents and survivors.
13202	13202	16 The plan may consist of increases in employee,

13205	13205	19 any combination thereof. If the actuarial present

13233	13233	11 (A) In the event of a projected shortfall, if
13234	13234	12 the Auditor General determines that the
13235	13235	13 assumptions stated in the report are not
13236	13236	14 unreasonable in the aggregate and that the plan of
13237	13237	15 increases in employee, retiree, dependent, or
13238	13238	16 survivor contribution levels, decreases in benefit
13239	13239	17 levels, or other plan changes, or any combination
13240	13240	18 thereof, to be implemented over a period of not
13241	13241	19 more than 10 years from each valuation date, is
13242	13242	20 reasonably projected to make the actuarial present
13243	13243	21 value of projected contributions and trust income
13244	13244	22 plus assets equal to or in excess of the actuarial
13245	13245	23 present value of projected benefits expected to be
13246	13246	24 paid to current and future retirees and their
13247	13247	25 dependents and survivors, then the Board of

13481	13481	8 In the case of an affected pension plan that has more than
13482	13482	9 one contributing employer, each contributing employer's share
13483	13483	10 of the total additional employer contributions required under
13484	13484	11 this subsection shall be determined: (i) in proportion to the

13722	13722	5 condition analysis determines that major repair is
13723	13723	6 required or the defects are so serious and so
13724	13724	7 extensive that the buildings must be removed.
13725	13725	8 (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of

13803	13803	14 either improperly situated on parcels or located on
13804	13804	15 parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
13805	13805	16 present-day standards of development for health and
13806	13806	17 safety and (ii) the presence of multiple buildings on
13807	13807	18 a single parcel. For there to be a finding of excessive
13808	13808	19 land coverage, these parcels must exhibit one or more

13833	13833	8 Environmental Protection Agency or United States
13834	13834	9 Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
13835	13835	10 or a study conducted by an independent consultant
13836	13836	11 recognized as having expertise in environmental
13837	13837	12 remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
13838	13838	13 hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
13839	13839	14 storage tanks required by State or federal law,
13840	13840	15 provided that the remediation costs constitute a
13841	13841	16 material impediment to the development or
13842	13842	17 redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
13843	13843	18 (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
13844	13844	19 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
13845	13845	20 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.

13950	13950	17 (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
13951	13951	18 project area is impaired by one of the following factors
13952	13952	19 that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
13953	13953	20 meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably

13971	13971	2 tracks, or railroad rights-of-way.
13972	13972	3 (C) The area, prior to its designation, is subject
13973	13973	4 to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
13974	13974	5 property in the area as certified by a registered
13975	13975	6 professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
13976	13976	7 or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
13977	13977	8 part of the area and contributes to flooding within
13978	13978	9 the same watershed, but only if the redevelopment
13979	13979	10 project provides for facilities or improvements to
13980	13980	11 contribute to the alleviation of all or part of the
13981	13981	12 flooding.
13982	13982	13 (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
13983	13983	14 disposal site containing earth, stone, building

13987	13987	18 than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
13988	13988	19 vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used
13989	13989	20 for commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years
13990	13990	21 prior to the designation of the redevelopment project
13991	13991	22 area), and the area meets at least one of the factors

14012	14012	7 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
14013	14013	8 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
14014	14014	9 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
14015	14015	10 in this Section prior to that date.
14016	14016	11 On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
14017	14017	12 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
14018	14018	13 project area located within the territorial limits of the
14019	14019	14 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
14020	14020	15 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
14021	14021	16 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
14022	14022	17 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
14023	14023	18 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
14024	14024	19 (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
14025	14025	20 neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
14026	14026	21 components of buildings or improvements in such a
14027	14027	22 combination that a documented building condition analysis
14028	14028	23 determines that major repair is required or the defects
14029	14029	24 are so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
14030	14030	25 removed.
14031	14031	26 (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling

14042	14042	1 into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the
14043	14043	2 original use.
14044	14044	3 (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
14045	14045	4 including, but not limited to, major defects in the
14046	14046	5 secondary building components such as doors, windows,
14047	14047	6 porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With respect
14048	14048	7 to surface improvements, that the condition of roadways,
14049	14049	8 alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and
14050	14050	9 surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including,
14051	14051	10 but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
14052	14052	11 depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding
14053	14053	12 through paved surfaces.
14054	14054	13 (4) Presence of structures below minimum code
14055	14055	14 standards. All structures that do not meet the standards
14056	14056	15 of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other
14057	14057	16 governmental codes applicable to property, but not
14058	14058	17 including housing and property maintenance codes.
14059	14059	18 (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
14060	14060	19 structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or
14061	14061	20 local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
14062	14062	21 of structures below minimum code standards.
14063	14063	22 (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
14064	14064	23 that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent
14065	14065	24 an adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
14066	14066	25 extent, or duration of the vacancies.
14067	14067	26 (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary

14078	14078	1 facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
14079	14079	2 or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
14080	14080	3 that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
14081	14081	4 other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light
14082	14082	5 and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of
14083	14083	6 skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and
14084	14084	7 improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window
14085	14085	8 area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the
14086	14086	9 absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,
14087	14087	10 bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and
14088	14088	11 structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to
14089	14089	12 and from all rooms and units within a building.
14090	14090	13 (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
14091	14091	14 utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
14092	14092	15 sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
14093	14093	16 electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
14094	14094	17 Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
14095	14095	18 insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
14096	14096	19 redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated, antiquated,
14097	14097	20 obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii) lacking within the
14098	14098	21 redevelopment project area.
14099	14099	22 (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
14100	14100	23 structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
14101	14101	24 use of property and the crowding of buildings and
14102	14102	25 accessory facilities onto a site. Examples of problem
14103	14103	26 conditions warranting the designation of an area as one

14114	14114	1 exhibiting excessive land coverage are: the presence of
14115	14115	2 buildings either improperly situated on parcels or located
14116	14116	3 on parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
14117	14117	4 present-day standards of development for health and safety
14118	14118	5 and the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
14119	14119	6 For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
14120	14120	7 these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
14121	14121	8 conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
14122	14122	9 within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
14123	14123	10 fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of
14124	14124	11 adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack
14125	14125	12 of reasonably required off-street parking, or inadequate
14126	14126	13 provision for loading and service.
14127	14127	14 (10) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence of
14128	14128	15 incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by
14129	14129	16 inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered to be
14130	14130	17 noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the surrounding
14131	14131	18 area.
14132	14132	19 (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
14133	14133	20 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
14134	14134	21 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
14135	14135	22 means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
14136	14136	23 by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
14137	14137	24 plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
14138	14138	25 area's development. This factor must be documented by
14139	14139	26 evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use

14621	14621	4 regardless of when the redevelopment plan and project was
14622	14622	5 adopted, the redevelopment plan and project either: (i)
14623	14623	6 conforms to the strategic economic development or
14624	14624	7 redevelopment plan issued by the designated planning
14625	14625	8 authority of the municipality, or (ii) includes land uses
14626	14626	9 that have been approved by the planning commission of the

14630	14630	13 retirement of obligations issued to finance redevelopment
14631	14631	14 project costs. Those dates may not be later than the dates
14632	14632	15 set forth under Section 11-74.4-3.5.
14633	14633	16 A municipality may by municipal ordinance amend an

14641	14641	24 (3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an

14654	14654	1 implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce
14655	14655	2 unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
14656	14656	3 facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts
14657	14657	4 that extend into the redevelopment project area.
14658	14658	5 (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
14659	14659	6 under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
14660	14660	7 redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after
14661	14661	8 January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the
14662	14662	9 redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
14663	14663	10 developed without the use of such incremental revenues,
14664	14664	11 and (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively
14665	14665	12 utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
14666	14666	13 area.
14667	14667	14 (5) If: (a) the redevelopment plan will not result in
14668	14668	15 displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
14669	14669	16 residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
14670	14670	17 plan that such displacement will not result from the plan;
14671	14671	18 or (b) the redevelopment plan is for a redevelopment
14672	14672	19 project area or a qualifying transit facility located
14673	14673	20 within a transit facility improvement area established
14674	14674	21 pursuant to Section 11-74.4-3.3, and the applicable

16310	16310	13 For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized

16344	16344	11 as an incident to making the sales of service, transfer
16345	16345	12 tangible personal property within the territory. The tax rate
16346	16346	13 shall be 1/4% of the selling price of tangible personal
16347	16347	14 property so transferred within the territory. Beginning
16348	16348	15 January 1, 2021, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation

16627	16627	8 pupils to a school which meets the standards for recognition
16628	16628	9 as established by the State Board of Education which provides
16629	16629	10 transportation meeting the standards of safety, comfort,
16630	16630	11 convenience, efficiency and operation prescribed by the State
16631	16631	12 Board of Education for resident pupils in kindergarten or any
16632	16632	13 of grades 1 through 12 who: (a) reside at least 1 1/2 miles as
16633	16633	14 measured by the customary route of travel, from the school
16634	16634	15 attended; or (b) reside in areas where conditions are such
16635	16635	16 that walking constitutes a hazard to the safety of the child
16636	16636	17 when determined under Section 29-3; and (c) are transported to
16637	16637	18 the school attended from pick-up points at the beginning of
16638	16638	19 the school day and back again at the close of the school day or

16642	16642	23 The State will pay the prorated allowable cost of
16643	16643	24 transporting eligible pupils less the real equalized assessed

16660	16660	5 districts formed pursuant to Article 11E, times a qualifying
16661	16661	6 rate of .07%. For a State-authorized charter school, the State
16662	16662	7 shall pay the prorated allowable cost of transporting eligible
16663	16663	8 pupils less a real equalized assessed valuation calculated
16664	16664	9 pursuant to this Section times a qualifying rate. For purposes
16665	16665	10 of calculating the real equalized assessed valuation for a
16666	16666	11 State-authorized charter school whose resident district is not
16667	16667	12 a school district organized under Article 34 of this Code, the
16668	16668	13 State Board of Education shall calculate the average of the
16669	16669	14 number of students in grades kindergarten through 12 reported
16670	16670	15 as enrolled in the charter school in the State Board's Student
16671	16671	16 Information System on October 1 and March 1 of the immediately
16672	16672	17 preceding school year. That value shall be divided by the
16673	16673	18 average of the number of students in grades kindergarten
16674	16674	19 through 12 reported as enrolled in the charter school's
16675	16675	20 resident district on October 1 and March 1 of the immediately
16676	16676	21 preceding school year. That proportion shall be multiplied by
16677	16677	22 the real equalized assessed valuation as computed under

16694	16694	3 computed under paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of Section
16695	16695	4 18-8.15. A State-authorized charter school's qualifying rate

16697	16697	6 school's resident district.
16698	16698	7 To be eligible to receive reimbursement in excess of 4/5
16699	16699	8 of the cost to transport eligible pupils, a school district or
16700	16700	9 partial elementary unit district formed pursuant to Article
16701	16701	10 11E shall have a Transportation Fund tax rate of at least .12%.
16702	16702	11 The Transportation Fund tax rate for a partial elementary unit
16703	16703	12 district formed pursuant Article 11E shall be the combined
16704	16704	13 elementary and high school rates pursuant to paragraph (4) of
16705	16705	14 subsection (a) of Section 18-8.15.

16707	16707	16 formed pursuant to Article 11E does not have a .12%
16708	16708	17 Transportation Fund tax rate, the amount of its claim in
16709	16709	18 excess of 4/5 of the cost of transporting pupils shall be
16710	16710	19 reduced by the sum arrived at by subtracting the
16711	16711	20 Transportation Fund tax rate from .12% and multiplying that
16712	16712	21 amount by the district's real equalized assessed valuation as
16713	16713	22 computed under paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of Section
16714	16714	23 18-8.15, provided that in no case shall said reduction result
16715	16715	24 in reimbursement of less than 4/5 of the cost to transport
16716	16716	25 eligible pupils. No such adjustment may be applied to a claim

16730	16730	3 use of a qualifying rate as provided in this Section, a
16731	16731	4 State-authorized charter school may make a claim for
16732	16732	5 reimbursement by the State that is calculated in the same
16733	16733	6 manner as a school district.
16734	16734	7 The minimum amount to be received by a district is $16
16735	16735	8 times the number of eligible pupils transported.
16736	16736	9 When calculating the reimbursement for transportation
16737	16737	10 costs, the State Board of Education may not deduct the number
16738	16738	11 of pupils enrolled in early education programs from the number
16739	16739	12 of pupils eligible for reimbursement if the pupils enrolled in
16740	16740	13 the early education programs are transported at the same time
16741	16741	14 as other eligible pupils.
16742	16742	15 Any such district transporting resident pupils during the
16743	16743	16 school day to an area vocational school or another school
16744	16744	17 district's vocational program more than 1 1/2 miles from the
16745	16745	18 school attended, as provided in Sections 10-22.20a and

17789	17789	3 (1) Obstruction of crossings.
17790	17790	4 (a) Obstruction of emergency vehicles. Every railroad
17791	17791	5 shall be operated in such a manner as to minimize
17792	17792	6 obstruction of emergency vehicles at crossings. Where such
17793	17793	7 obstruction occurs and the train crew is aware of the
17794	17794	8 obstruction, the train crew shall immediately take any
17795	17795	9 action, consistent with safe operating procedure,
17796	17796	10 necessary to remove the obstruction. In the Chicago and

17827	17827	5 and 4:00 p.m. through 6:00 p.m. it is unlawful for a rail
17828	17828	6 carrier to permit any single train or railroad car to
17829	17829	7 obstruct public travel at a railroad-highway grade
17830	17830	8 crossing in excess of a total of 10 minutes during a
17831	17831	9 30-minute 30 minute period, except where the train or
17832	17832	10 railroad car cannot be moved by reason or circumstances
17833	17833	11 over which the rail carrier has no reasonable control.
17834	17834	12 Under no circumstances will a moving train be stopped for
17835	17835	13 the purposes of issuing a citation related to this
17836	17836	14 Section.
17837	17837	15 However, no employee acting under the rules or orders
17838	17838	16 of the rail carrier or its supervisory personnel may be

17873	17873	15 rung or sounded by the engineer or fireman, at the
17874	17874	16 distance of at least 1,320 feet, from the place where the
17875	17875	17 railroad crosses or intersects any public highway, and
17876	17876	18 shall be kept ringing or sounding until the highway is
17877	17877	19 reached; provided that at crossings where the Commission
17878	17878	20 shall by order direct, only after a hearing has been held
17879	17879	21 to determine the public is reasonably and sufficiently
17880	17880	22 protected, the rail carrier may be excused from giving

17902	17902	8 permanently installed audible warning device.
17903	17903	9 (b) Speed limits. Each rail carrier shall operate its
17904	17904	10 trains in compliance with speed limits set by the
17905	17905	11 Commission. The Commission may set train speed limits only
17906	17906	12 where such limits are necessitated by extraordinary
17907	17907	13 circumstances affecting the public safety, and shall
17908	17908	14 maintain such train speed limits in effect only for such
17909	17909	15 time as the extraordinary circumstances prevail.
17910	17910	16 The Commission and the Department of Transportation
17911	17911	17 shall conduct a study of the relation between train speeds

17933	17933	3 limit for Metropolitan Mobility Regional Transportation
17934	17934	4 Authority trains at 50 miles per hour at intersections on
17935	17935	5 that portion of the intrastate rail line located in the
17936	17936	6 Village of Fox River Grove. If the Metropolitan Mobility
17937	17937	7 Regional Transportation Authority deliberately fails to
17938	17938	8 comply with this maximum speed limit, then any entity,
17939	17939	9 governmental or otherwise, that provides capital or
17940	17940	10 operational funds to the Metropolitan Mobility Regional
17941	17941	11 Transportation Authority shall appropriately reduce or
17942	17942	12 eliminate that funding. The Commission shall report to the
17943	17943	13 Governor and the General Assembly on the results of this
17944	17944	14 pilot project in January 1999, January 2000, and January

17950	17950	20 (d) Freight train crew size. No rail carrier shall
17951	17951	21 operate or cause to operate a train or light engine used in
17952	17952	22 connection with the movement of freight unless it has an
17953	17953	23 operating crew consisting of at least 2 individuals. The
17954	17954	24 minimum freight train crew size indicated in this
17955	17955	25 subsection (d) shall remain in effect until a federal law
17956	17956	26 or rule encompassing the subject matter has been adopted.

19205	19205	1 Sec. 8-106. Make-ready tariff.
19206	19206	2 (a) The purpose of this Section is to change the
19207	19207	3 Commission's practice of authorizing the electrical
19208	19208	4 distribution infrastructure located on the utility side of the
19209	19209	5 customer meter needed to charge electric vehicles on a
19210	19210	6 case-by-case basis to a practice of considering that
19211	19211	7 infrastructure and associated design, engineering, and
19212	19212	8 construction work as core utility business, treated the same
19213	19213	9 as other necessary distribution infrastructure authorized on
19214	19214	10 an ongoing basis in the electric utility's multi-year rate
19215	19215	11 plans. The Commission shall continue to require each electric
19216	19216	12 utility to provide an accurate and full accounting of all
19217	19217	13 expenses related to electrical distribution infrastructure as
19218	19218	14 it relates to this Section, and apply appropriate penalties to
19219	19219	15 the extent an electric utility is not accurately tracking all
19220	19220	16 expenses.
19221	19221	17 (b) For purposes of this Section, "electrical distribution
19222	19222	18 infrastructure" includes poles, vaults, service drops,
19223	19223	19 transformers, mounting pads, trenching, conduit, wire, cable,
19224	19224	20 meters, other equipment as necessary, and associated
19225	19225	21 engineering and civil construction work.
19226	19226	22 (c) Not later than the next multi-year rate case, each
19227	19227	23 electric utility shall propose a new tariff or rule that
19228	19228	24 authorizes each electric utility to design and deploy all
19229	19229	25 electrical distribution infrastructure on the utility side of
19230	19230	26 the customer's meter for all customers installing separate or

19241	19241	1 sub-metered infrastructure to support charging stations, other
19242	19242	2 than those in single-family residences. Each electric utility
19243	19243	3 shall recover its revenue requirement for this work through
19244	19244	4 periodic multi-year rate plan proceedings. In those
19245	19245	5 proceedings, the costs shall be treated like those costs
19246	19246	6 incurred for other necessary distribution infrastructure. The
19247	19247	7 new tariff shall replace the line extension rules currently
19248	19248	8 used for electric vehicle infrastructure as of the effective
19249	19249	9 date of the new tariff or rule and any customer allowances
19250	19250	10 established shall be based on the full useful life of the
19251	19251	11 electrical distribution infrastructure. The Commission may
19252	19252	12 revise the policy described in subsection (a) and this
19253	19253	13 subsection after the completion of the multi-year rate plan of
19254	19254	14 the electric utility following the one during which the
19255	19255	15 proposal was filed if a determination is made that a change in
19256	19256	16 the policy is necessary to ensure just and reasonable rates
19257	19257	17 for ratepayers. Moreover, electric utilities and combination
19258	19258	18 gas and electric utilities shall take reasonable efforts to
19259	19259	19 ensure that any infrastructure built pursuant this Section is
19260	19260	20 efficiently sized and operated. Such efforts include, but are
19261	19261	21 not necessarily limited to, considering customers' reasonably
19262	19262	22 foreseeable load management activities and deployments of
19263	19263	23 distributed energy resources.

19276	19276	1 (a) The purpose of this Section is for the Commission to
19277	19277	2 require electric utilities to explore a new and complementary
19278	19278	3 mechanism for investments by the electric utility in the
19279	19279	4 electrical distribution infrastructure and equipment located
19280	19280	5 on the customer side of the meter that may be needed to charge
19281	19281	6 electric vehicles. Electrical distribution infrastructure that
19282	19282	7 may be needed on the customer side of the meter includes
19283	19283	8 wiring, panels, breaker panels, conduit up to the charger
19284	19284	9 itself and the electric vehicle charger. The new mechanism is
19285	19285	10 an inclusive utility investment with a site-specific recovery
19286	19286	11 mechanism described in subsection (b). The Commission shall
19287	19287	12 require each electric utility to explore this mechanism as an
19288	19288	13 option to complement other incentives offered (such as charger
19289	19289	14 rebates).
19290	19290	15 (b) Inclusive utility investment is seen by the United
19291	19291	16 States Environmental Protection Agency as a promising approach
19292	19292	17 to expanding access to cost-effective more comprehensive
19293	19293	18 efficiency and electrification upgrades for all utility
19294	19294	19 customers. Inclusive utility investment allows for
19295	19295	20 site-specific investments by the electric utility in
19296	19296	21 electrification measures on the customer side of the meter
19297	19297	22 with site-specific cost recovery through a fixed charge on the
19298	19298	23 utility bill of the customer at the metered location. The
19299	19299	24 fixed charge must be no more than the expected energy cost
19300	19300	25 savings resulting from a customer switching from an internal
19301	19301	26 combustion engine vehicle with associated fuel costs to an

19312	19312	1 electric vehicle with associated electric charging costs on an
19313	19313	2 annual basis, and the cost recovery term must be limited to no
19314	19314	3 more than the useful life of the charging equipment. The fixed
19315	19315	4 charge shall be calculated taking into account equipment,
19316	19316	5 installation, and administrative costs, and all available
19317	19317	6 rebates and incentives should be applied to reduce total
19318	19318	7 project costs.
19319	19319	8 (c) No later than December 1, 2025, each electric utility
19320	19320	9 shall file an advice letter and not later than June 1, 2026,
19321	19321	10 the Commission shall start a process to explore the
19322	19322	11 implementation of inclusive utility investments for investing
19323	19323	12 in the electrical distribution infrastructure on the customer
19324	19324	13 side of the meter, including electric vehicle chargers. For
19325	19325	14 this process, the Commission shall request each electric
19326	19326	15 utility to present a proposal with the estimation of the
19327	19327	16 investments needed. This estimation shall include the costs
19328	19328	17 and energy savings of all the customer-side electric vehicle
19329	19329	18 infrastructure and chargers at the customer's residence. The
19330	19330	19 proposal shall also include the calculation of the tariff
19331	19331	20 required for a cost recovery period equivalent to the warranty
19332	19332	21 of the charger and based on the description of inclusive
19333	19333	22 utility investment in subsection (b). The Commission shall
19334	19334	23 review the proposal as inclusive utility investments and
19335	19335	24 approve the charge proposed as a tariff in the customer's bill
19336	19336	25 ensuring customer protections.

19539	19539	15 Sec. 18c-1206. Large fleet reporting requirement.
19540	19540	16 (a) The purpose of this Section is to establish reporting
19541	19541	17 requirements for motor carriers in the State to gather data on
19542	19542	18 the transition of medium and heavy-duty vehicles to
19543	19543	19 zero-emission vehicles over time. This public data will
19544	19544	20 provide regulators and government agencies the information
19545	19545	21 necessary to identify the hardest to electrify sectors and
19546	19546	22 invest public dollars responsibly.
19547	19547	23 (b) In this Section:
19548	19548	24 "Common ownership or control" means being owned,

19563	19563	4 be under common ownership or control, even if their titles are
19564	19564	5 held by different business entities or they have different
19565	19565	6 taxpayer identification numbers. Furthermore, a vehicle is
19566	19566	7 considered to be under an entity's control if that entity
19567	19567	8 operates the vehicle using that entity's State or federal
19568	19568	9 operating authority or other registration. Vehicles owned by

19570	19570	11 resources to manage the day-to-day operations by using the
19571	19571	12 same motor carrier number, displaying the same name or logo,
19572	19572	13 or contractors who represent the same company are considered
19573	19573	14 to be under common ownership or control. Common ownership or
19574	19574	15 control of a federal government vehicle shall be the primary
19575	19575	16 responsibility of the governmental agency that is directly
19576	19576	17 responsible for the day-to-day operational control of the
19577	19577	18 vehicle.

19769	19769	1 Sec. 2705-204. Transportation planning and greenhouse gas
19770	19770	2 reduction.
19771	19771	3 (a) The General Assembly finds that:
19772	19772	4 (1) Article XI of the Illinois Constitution provides
19773	19773	5 that the public policy of the State and the duty of each
19774	19774	6 person is to provide and maintain a healthful environment
19775	19775	7 for the benefit of this and future generations.
19776	19776	8 (2) The transportation sector is now the largest
19777	19777	9 source of greenhouse gas emissions in the State.
19778	19778	10 (3) The State has previously set a goal to have an
19779	19779	11 electric power sector that is free of greenhouse gas
19780	19780	12 emissions by 2045.
19781	19781	13 (4) Greenhouse gas pollution resulting from the
19782	19782	14 production, distribution, and use of motor vehicle fuels
19783	19783	15 produces many social costs, including, but not limited to,
19784	19784	16 adverse public health impacts, increased heat waves,
19785	19785	17 droughts, water supply shortages, flooding, biodiversity
19786	19786	18 loss, and forest health issues, such as forest fires.
19787	19787	19 (5) The Illinois State Climatologist is projecting
19788	19788	20 that, by the end of the 21st Century, average daily
19789	19789	21 temperatures in the State will increase between 4 and 9
19790	19790	22 degrees Fahrenheit under a lower emissions scenario and
19791	19791	23 between 8 and 14 degrees Fahrenheit under a higher
19792	19792	24 emissions scenario.
19793	19793	25 (6) Climate change of such speed and magnitude will
19794	19794	26 result in heat stress on animals, plants, and workers;
19795	19795

19805	19805	1 reduced crop yields from short-term and rapid-onset
19806	19806	2 drought; increased pestilence; and other challenges that
19807	19807	3 will adversely affect the State's agriculture sector.
19808	19808	4 (7) Increases in flooding, heat, and other factors
19809	19809	5 associated with climate change will stress the State's
19810	19810	6 transportation infrastructure, such as bridges and
19811	19811	7 roadways in low-lying areas, and will require more
19812	19812	8 resources to maintain roadways and other transportation
19813	19813	9 infrastructure.
19814	19814	10 (8) State investment in a clean transportation economy
19815	19815	11 in the State can expand equitable access to public health,
19816	19816	12 safety, a cleaner environment, quality jobs, and economic
19817	19817	13 opportunity.
19818	19818	14 (9) It is the public policy of the State to ensure that
19819	19819	15 State residents from communities disproportionately
19820	19820	16 impacted by climate change, communities facing automotive
19821	19821	17 plant closures, economically disadvantaged communities,
19822	19822	18 and individuals experiencing barriers to employment have
19823	19823	19 access to State programs and good jobs and career
19824	19824	20 opportunities in growing sectors of the State economy.
19825	19825	21 (10) To minimize any adverse environmental and health
19826	19826	22 impacts of planned transportation projects and to address
19827	19827	23 inequitable distribution of the burdens of those projects,
19828	19828	24 it is necessary, appropriate, and in the best interests of
19829	19829	25 the State and its citizens to require the Department and
19830	19830	26 MPOs, which are the State's primary transportation

19843	19843	3 level of planning, modeling, and other analysis, community
19844	19844	4 engagement, and monitoring with respect to those projects
19845	19845	5 as required by this Section.
19846	19846	6 (11) Subsection (a) of Section 15 of the Regional
19847	19847	7 Planning Act provides that the Chicago Metropolitan Agency
19848	19848	8 for Planning, whose Policy Committee is the MPO for
19849	19849	9 Northeastern Illinois, shall be responsible for developing
19850	19850	10 and adopting a funding and implementation strategy for an
19851	19851	11 integrated land use and transportation planning process.
19852	19852	12 (12) Section 48 of the Regional Planning Act provides
19853	19853	13 that the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning shall
19854	19854	14 establish an incentive program to enable local governments
19855	19855	15 and developers to create more affordable workforce housing

19881	19881	5 (49 U.S.C. 5303(k)(4)(A)) provides that MPOs serving
19882	19882	6 transportation management areas may address the
19883	19883	7 integration of housing, transportation, and economic
19884	19884	8 development strategies through a process that provides for
19885	19885	9 effective integration, based on a cooperatively developed
19886	19886	10 and implemented strategy, of new and existing
19887	19887	11 transportation facilities eligible for funding.
19888	19888	12 (15) Subparagraph (C) of paragraph (4) of subsection
19889	19889	13 (k) of Section 5303 of Title 49 of the United States Code
19890	19890	14 (49 U.S.C. 5303(k)(4)(C)) provides that MPOs serving
19891	19891	15 transportation management areas may develop a housing
19892	19892	16 coordination plan that includes projects and strategies
19893	19893	17 that may be considered in the metropolitan transportation
19894	19894	18 plan of the MPO to develop regional goals for the
19895	19895	19 integration of housing, transportation, and economic
19896	19896	20 development strategies.
19897	19897	21 (16) Land use policies and practices that result in
19898	19898	22 shorter distances between where people reside and jobs and
19899	19899	23 other destinations they seek to access and that facilitate
19900	19900	24 multimodal transportation options for the public are one
19901	19901	25 of the most effective tools to reduce greenhouse gas

19914	19914	2 (17) Transportation is the second-largest expense
19915	19915	3 category for most households and the cost of owning,
19916	19916	4 operating, and maintaining personal vehicles is a
19917	19917	5 significant burden for many households.
19918	19918	6 (18) Reducing vehicle miles traveled per person
19919	19919	7 through more efficient land use and transportation systems
19920	19920	8 will help the State achieve its greenhouse gas reduction
19921	19921	9 goals and reduce the transportation cost burden on State
19922	19922	10 households.
19923	19923	11 (19) To the maximum extent practicable, actions taken
19924	19924	12 to achieve these goals must avoid causing disproportionate
19925	19925	13 adverse impacts to residents of communities that are or
19926	19926	14 have been disproportionately exposed to pollution
19927	19927	15 affecting human health and environmental quality.

20350	20350	6 applicable planning document, results in the Department or
20351	20351	7 MPO meeting its GHG targets. Each comparison of GHG
20352	20352	8 emissions reductions and GHG targets under this subsection
20353	20353	9 must be performed over equal comparison periods.
20354	20354	10 (3) In the annual GHG mitigation measures status
20355	20355	11 report under subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1), the
20356	20356	12 Department or MPO shall certify whether its GHG mitigation
20357	20357	13 measures will be sufficient for the Department or MPO to
20358	20358	14 meet its GHG targets.
20359	20359	15 (g) If an applicable planning document does not meet the
20360	20360	16 GHG targets for each compliance year even after consideration
20361	20361	17 of any GHG mitigation measures, the Department may deem the
20362	20362	18 applicable planning document in compliance with this Section
20363	20363	19 and approved only if the noncompliant Department or MPO
20364	20364	20 allocates funding to advance the achievement of the applicable
20365	20365	21 GHG targets as follows:

20427	20427	11 authority to advance roadway capacity expansion projects
20428	20428	12 or other projects that will materially increase GHG
20429	20429	13 emissions under paragraph (5) of subsection (k) of Section
20430	20430	14 5303 of Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.
20431	20431	15 5303(k)(5)).
20432	20432	16 (h) Before including a roadway capacity expansion project
20433	20433	17 in an applicable planning document, the Department or MPO must
20434	20434	18 perform a GHG emissions analysis of the roadway capacity
20435	20435	19 expansion project. Following the GHG emissions analysis, the
20436	20436	20 Department or MPO must determine if, after consideration of
20437	20437	21 all relevant factors, including VMT and social cost of carbon
20438	20438	22 increases in the transportation network resulting from induced
20439	20439	23 demand, the project conforms with (i) the applicable GHG
20440	20440	24 targets and (ii) VMT targets established under subsection (c).
20441	20441	25 (1) If the Department or MPO determines that the

20453	20453	1 with items (i) and (ii), the Department or MPO must:
20454	20454	2 (A) alter the scope or design of the roadway
20455	20455	3 capacity expansion project and perform a GHG emissions
20456	20456	4 analysis that shows that the roadway capacity
20457	20457	5 expansion project meets the requirements of items (i)
20458	20458	6 and (ii);
20459	20459	7 (B) incorporate sufficient GHG mitigation measures
20460	20460	8 to bring the Department or MPO into compliance with
20461	20461	9 its GHG targets, however, in order to be effective,
20462	20462	10 such GHG mitigation measures must be implemented no
20463	20463	11 later than contemporaneously with the implementation
20464	20464	12 of the roadway expansion project or, if not
20465	20465	13 implemented contemporaneously, a GHG mitigation
20466	20466	14 measure must provide a valid GHG emissions reduction
20467	20467	15 after the date it is implemented; or
20468	20468	16 (C) halt development of the roadway capacity
20469	20469	17 expansion project and remove the roadway capacity
20470	20470	18 expansion project from all applicable planning
20471	20471	19 documents.
20472	20472	20 (2) The Department and MPOs must establish a process
20473	20473	21 for performing roadway capacity expansion project GHG
20474	20474	22 emissions analysis. A GHG emissions analysis for a roadway
20475	20475	23 capacity expansion project must include, but shall not be
20476	20476	24 limited to, estimates resulting from the project for the
20477	20477	25 following:
20478	20478	26 (A) GHG emissions over a period of 20 years or the

20490	20490	2 (B) a net change in VMT and social cost of carbon
20491	20491	3 for the transportation network after factoring in the
20492	20492	4 effects of induced demand; and
20493	20493	5 (C) consideration of additional VMT in the
20494	20494	6 transportation network from additional capacity
20495	20495	7 resulting from roadway traffic capacity expansion,
20496	20496	8 intelligent transportation systems, or both.
20497	20497	9 (3) The Department or MPO must connect any GHG
20498	20498	10 mitigation measures associated with the roadway capacity
20499	20499	11 expansion project as follows:
20500	20500	12 (A) within or associated with at least one of the
20501	20501	13 communities impacted by the roadway capacity expansion
20502	20502	14 project;
20503	20503	15 (B) if there is not a reasonably feasible location
20504	20504	16 under subparagraph (A), in areas of persistent poverty
20505	20505	17 or historically disadvantaged communities, as measured
20506	20506	18 and defined by federal law, guidance and notices of
20507	20507	19 funding opportunity;
20508	20508	20 (C) if there is not a reasonably feasible location
20509	20509	21 under subparagraphs (A) and (B), in the region of the
20510	20510	22 roadway capacity expansion project; and
20511	20511	23 (D) if there is not a reasonably feasible location
20512	20512	24 under subparagraphs (A) through (C), on a statewide
20513	20513	25 basis.
20514	20514	26 (4) The Department or MPO must develop and use a

20529	20529	5 (5) The Department or MPO must publish an explanation
20530	20530	6 regarding the feasibility and rationale for each GHG
20531	20531	7 mitigation measure under subparagraphs (B) through (D) of
20532	20532	8 paragraph (3).
20533	20533	9 (6) GHG mitigation measures connected to a roadway
20534	20534	10 expansion project are sufficient if the total greenhouse
20535	20535	11 gas reduction from the GHG mitigation measures is at least
20536	20536	12 equal to the total GHG emissions resulting from the
20537	20537	13 roadway capacity expansion project and consistent with the
20538	20538	14 Department or MPO meeting its GHG targets.
20539	20539	15 (A) Each comparison under this paragraph must be
20540	20540	16 performed over equal comparison periods.
20541	20541	17 (B) To avoid double counting, once a GHG
20542	20542	18 mitigation measure is connected to a roadway capacity
20543	20543	19 expansion project, that GHG mitigation measure shall
20544	20544	20 not be used to offset greenhouse gases associated with
20545	20545	21 other roadway capacity expansion projects or other
20546	20546	22 projects included in an applicable planning document.
20547	20547	23 (7) The Department and MPOs must publish information
20548	20548	24 regarding roadway capacity expansion project GHG emissions
20549	20549	25 analyses on their websites. The information must include:

20568	20568	8 disposition, including a review of any GHG mitigation
20569	20569	9 measures.
20570	20570	10 (i) The Department and MPOs may use a GHG mitigation
20571	20571	11 measure as an offset against GHG emissions only after the date
20572	20572	12 the GHG mitigation measure has been implemented.
20573	20573	13 (j) By January 1, 2030, and every 3 years thereafter, the
20574	20574	14 Department shall prepare a comprehensive, publicly released
20575	20575	15 report on statewide transportation greenhouse gas reduction
20576	20576	16 accomplishments and challenges and make recommendations for
20577	20577	17 any legislative action or State agency rulemaking that would

20611	20611	15 measures and other steps being taken by the Department and
20612	20612	16 each MPO to reduce GHG emissions;
20613	20613	17 (6) a description of whether measures taken by the
20614	20614	18 Department and MPOs to meet GHG targets are equitable,

20633	20633	1 or MPO shall calculate a climate equity accessibility score
20634	20634	2 for the project. The climate equity accessibility score shall
20635	20635	3 be based on a GHG emissions analysis of the project and a
20636	20636	4 measurement of (i) the current levels of access to jobs,
20637	20637	5 hospitals, schools, and food by available modes of
20638	20638	6 transportation and (ii) the current level of affordability of
20639	20639	7 transportation in the project area. The Department and MPO
20640	20640	8 shall then calculate a climate equity accessibility score
20641	20641	9 based on the projected change in GHG emissions, accessibility,
20642	20642	10 and affordability from the proposed project. Projects that
20643	20643	11 result in relatively high reductions of GHG emissions while
20644	20644	12 increasing access to jobs and other destinations and providing
20645	20645	13 more affordable transportation options will receive a higher
20646	20646	14 climate equity accessibility score than projects that fail to
20647	20647	15 deliver such benefits. To advance the goals of this Section
20648	20648	16 and optimize the use of public funds, the Department and MPOs
20649	20649	17 shall give priority to projects with high climate equity
20650	20650	18 accessibility scores, considering which project delivers the
20651	20651	19 most climate equity accessibility score benefit per dollar
20652	20652	20 invested. The Department, with the assistance of the
20653	20653	21 Environmental Protection Agency, shall provide technical
20654	20654	22 assistance to MPOs in fulfilling their responsibilities under
20655	20655	23 this subsection.
