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,

1636	1636	16 after award but prior to contract execution for the
1637	1637	17 purpose of securing better terms than originally
1638	1638	18 proposed if the salient features of the design-build
1639	1639	19 solicitation are not diminished. Each phase II
1640	1640	20 solicitation evaluates separately (i) the technical
1641	1641	21 submission for the proposal, including design concepts
1642	1642	22 or proposed solutions to requirements addressed within

2120	2120	5 contracts not covered under a federally mandated disadvantaged
2121	2121	6 business enterprise program. The program shall establish
2122	2122	7 narrowly tailored goals for the participation of disadvantaged
2123	2123	8 business enterprises as the Authority determines appropriate.

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

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

4276	4276	4 airport-related purpose and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75%
4277	4277	5 tax on aviation fuel is expended for airport-related purposes.
4278	4278	6 If there is no airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel
4279	4279	7 tax revenue is dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from
4280	4280	8 the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax. The tax imposed under
4281	4281	9 this Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an
4282	4282	10 incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
4283	4283	11 Department of Revenue. The Department has full power to

4322	4322	14 Authority.
4323	4323	15 (g) Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
4324	4324	16 granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their

5317	5317	4 (u) The ordinance of the Authority authorizing the
5318	5318	5 issuance of any bonds or notes may provide additional security
5319	5319	6 for such bonds or notes by providing for appointment of a
5320	5320	7 corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank
5321	5321	8 having the powers of a trust company within the State, with
5322	5322	9 respect to such bonds or notes. The ordinance shall prescribe
5323	5323	10 the rights, duties, and powers of the trustee to be exercised
5324	5324	11 for the benefit of the Authority and the protection of the
5325	5325	12 holders of such bonds or notes. The ordinance may provide for
5326	5326	13 the trustee to hold in trust, invest, and use amounts in funds
5327	5327	14 and accounts created as provided by the ordinance with respect
5328	5328	15 to the bonds or notes. The ordinance may provide for the
5329	5329	16 assignment and direct payment to the trustee of any or all
5330	5330	17 amounts produced from the sources provided in Sections 6.02
5331	5331	18 and 6.08 and provided in Section 6z-17 of the State Finance

5335	5335	22 Sections 6.02 and 6.08 and Section 6z-17 of the State Finance
5336	5336	23 Act, provide for such assigned amounts to be paid directly to
5337	5337	24 the trustee instead of the Authority, all in accordance with

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

8922	8922	18 Sec. 2705-204. Transportation planning and greenhouse gas
8923	8923	19 reduction.
8924	8924	20 (a) The General Assembly finds that:
8925	8925	21 (1) Article XI of the Illinois Constitution provides
8926	8926	22 that the public policy of the State and the duty of each
8927	8927	23 person is to provide and maintain a healthful environment
8928	8928	24 for the benefit of this and future generations.
8929	8929	25 (2) The transportation sector is now the largest

8940	8940	1 source of greenhouse gas emissions in the State.
8941	8941	2 (3) The State has previously set a goal to have an
8942	8942	3 electric power sector that is free of greenhouse gas
8943	8943	4 emissions by 2045.
8944	8944	5 (4) Greenhouse gas pollution resulting from the
8945	8945	6 production, distribution, and use of motor vehicle fuels
8946	8946	7 produces many social costs, including, but not limited to,
8947	8947	8 adverse public health impacts, increased heat waves,
8948	8948	9 droughts, water supply shortages, flooding, biodiversity
8949	8949	10 loss, and forest health issues, such as forest fires.
8950	8950	11 (5) The Illinois State Climatologist is projecting
8951	8951	12 that, by the end of the 21st Century, average daily
8952	8952	13 temperatures in the State will increase between 4 and 9
8953	8953	14 degrees Fahrenheit under a lower emissions scenario and
8954	8954	15 between 8 and 14 degrees Fahrenheit under a higher
8955	8955	16 emissions scenario.
8956	8956	17 (6) Climate change of such speed and magnitude will
8957	8957	18 result in heat stress on animals, plants, and workers;
8958	8958	19 reduced crop yields from short-term and rapid-onset
8959	8959	20 drought; increased pestilence; and other challenges that
8960	8960	21 will adversely affect the State's agriculture sector.
8961	8961	22 (7) Increases in flooding, heat, and other factors
8962	8962	23 associated with climate change will stress the State's
8963	8963	24 transportation infrastructure, such as bridges and
8964	8964	25 roadways in low-lying areas, and will require more
8965	8965	26 resources to maintain roadways and other transportation

8976	8976	1 infrastructure.
8977	8977	2 (8) State investment in a clean transportation economy
8978	8978	3 in the State can expand equitable access to public health,
8979	8979	4 safety, a cleaner environment, quality jobs, and economic
8980	8980	5 opportunity.
8981	8981	6 (9) It is the public policy of the State to ensure that
8982	8982	7 State residents from communities disproportionately
8983	8983	8 impacted by climate change, communities facing automotive
8984	8984	9 plant closures, economically disadvantaged communities,
8985	8985	10 and individuals experiencing barriers to employment have
8986	8986	11 access to State programs and good jobs and career
8987	8987	12 opportunities in growing sectors of the State economy.
8988	8988	13 (10) To minimize any adverse environmental and health
8989	8989	14 impacts of planned transportation projects and to address
8990	8990	15 inequitable distribution of the burdens of those projects,
8991	8991	16 it is necessary, appropriate, and in the best interests of
8992	8992	17 the State and its citizens to require the Department and
8993	8993	18 MPOs, which are the State's primary transportation
8994	8994	19 planning entities with responsibility for selecting and
8995	8995	20 funding transportation projects, to engage in an enhanced
8996	8996	21 level of planning, modeling, and other analysis, community
8997	8997	22 engagement, and monitoring with respect to those projects
8998	8998	23 as required by this Section.
8999	8999	24 (11) Subsection (a) of Section 15 of the Regional
9000	9000	25 Planning Act provides that the Chicago Metropolitan Agency

9013	9013	2 and adopting a funding and implementation strategy for an
9014	9014	3 integrated land use and transportation planning process.
9015	9015	4 (12) Section 48 of the Regional Planning Act provides
9016	9016	5 that the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning shall
9017	9017	6 establish an incentive program to enable local governments
9018	9018	7 and developers to create more affordable workforce housing
9019	9019	8 options near jobs and transit, create jobs near existing
9020	9020	9 affordable workforce housing, create transit-oriented
9021	9021	10 development, integrate transportation and land use
9022	9022	11 planning, provide a range of viable transportation choices
9023	9023	12 in addition to the car, encourage compact and mixed-use
9024	9024	13 development, and support neighborhood revitalization.
9025	9025	14 (13) Paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Section 5303
9026	9026	15 of Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.
9027	9027	16 5303(a)(1)) provides, in relevant part, that it is in the
9028	9028	17 national interest to better connect housing and
9029	9029	18 employment, while minimizing transportation-related fuel
9030	9030	19 consumption and air pollution through metropolitan and
9031	9031	20 statewide transportation planning processes.
9032	9032	21 (14) Subparagraph (A) of paragraph (4) of subsection
9033	9033	22 (k) of Section 5303 of Title 49 of the United States Code
9034	9034	23 (49 U.S.C. 5303(k)(4)(A)) provides that MPOs serving
9035	9035	24 transportation management areas may address the
9036	9036	25 integration of housing, transportation, and economic
9037	9037	26 development strategies through a process that provides for

9052	9052	5 (k) of Section 5303 of Title 49 of the United States Code
9053	9053	6 (49 U.S.C. 5303(k)(4)(C)) provides that MPOs serving
9054	9054	7 transportation management areas may develop a housing
9055	9055	8 coordination plan that includes projects and strategies
9056	9056	9 that may be considered in the metropolitan transportation
9057	9057	10 plan of the MPO to develop regional goals for the
9058	9058	11 integration of housing, transportation, and economic
9059	9059	12 development strategies.
9060	9060	13 (16) Land use policies and practices that result in
9061	9061	14 shorter distances between where people reside and jobs and
9062	9062	15 other destinations they seek to access and that facilitate
9063	9063	16 multimodal transportation options for the public are one
9064	9064	17 of the most effective tools to reduce greenhouse gas
9065	9065	18 emissions from the transportation sector and provide more
9066	9066	19 affordable transportation options.
9067	9067	20 (17) Transportation is the second-largest expense
9068	9068	21 category for most households and the cost of owning,
9069	9069	22 operating, and maintaining personal vehicles is a
9070	9070	23 significant burden for many households.
9071	9071	24 (18) Reducing vehicle miles traveled per person
9072	9072	25 through more efficient land use and transportation systems
9073	9073	26 will help the State achieve its greenhouse gas reduction

9085	9085	2 households.
9086	9086	3 (19) To the maximum extent practicable, actions taken
9087	9087	4 to achieve these goals must avoid causing disproportionate
9088	9088	5 adverse impacts to residents of communities that are or
9089	9089	6 have been disproportionately exposed to pollution

9589	9589	2 paragraphs (1) through (3) as a limitation on their
9590	9590	3 authority to advance roadway capacity expansion projects
9591	9591	4 or other projects that will materially increase GHG
9592	9592	5 emissions under paragraph (5) of subsection (k) of Section
9593	9593	6 5303 of Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.
9594	9594	7 5303(k)(5)).
9595	9595	8 (h) Before including a roadway capacity expansion project
9596	9596	9 in an applicable planning document, the Department or MPO must
9597	9597	10 perform a GHG emissions analysis of the roadway capacity
9598	9598	11 expansion project. Following the GHG emissions analysis, the
9599	9599	12 Department or MPO must determine if, after consideration of
9600	9600	13 all relevant factors, including VMT and social cost of carbon
9601	9601	14 increases in the transportation network resulting from induced
9602	9602	15 demand, the project conforms with (i) the applicable GHG
9603	9603	16 targets and (ii) VMT targets established under subsection (c).
9604	9604	17 (1) If the Department or MPO determines that the
9605	9605	18 roadway capacity expansion project is not in conformance
9606	9606	19 with items (i) and (ii), the Department or MPO must:
9607	9607	20 (A) alter the scope or design of the roadway
9608	9608	21 capacity expansion project and perform a GHG emissions
9609	9609	22 analysis that shows that the roadway capacity
9610	9610	23 expansion project meets the requirements of items (i)
9611	9611	24 and (ii);
9612	9612	25 (B) incorporate sufficient GHG mitigation measures
9613	9613	26 to bring the Department or MPO into compliance with

9624	9624	1 its GHG targets, however, in order to be effective,
9625	9625	2 such GHG mitigation measures must be implemented no
9626	9626	3 later than contemporaneously with the implementation
9627	9627	4 of the roadway expansion project or, if not
9628	9628	5 implemented contemporaneously, a GHG mitigation
9629	9629	6 measure must provide a valid GHG emissions reduction
9630	9630	7 after the date it is implemented; or
9631	9631	8 (C) halt development of the roadway capacity
9632	9632	9 expansion project and remove the roadway capacity
9633	9633	10 expansion project from all applicable planning
9634	9634	11 documents.
9635	9635	12 (2) The Department and MPOs must establish a process
9636	9636	13 for performing roadway capacity expansion project GHG
9637	9637	14 emissions analysis. A GHG emissions analysis for a roadway
9638	9638	15 capacity expansion project must include, but shall not be
9639	9639	16 limited to, estimates resulting from the project for the
9640	9640	17 following:
9641	9641	18 (A) GHG emissions over a period of 20 years or the
9642	9642	19 last GHG target year, whichever is later;
9643	9643	20 (B) a net change in VMT and social cost of carbon
9644	9644	21 for the transportation network after factoring in the
9645	9645	22 effects of induced demand; and
9646	9646	23 (C) consideration of additional VMT in the
9647	9647	24 transportation network from additional capacity
9648	9648	25 resulting from roadway traffic capacity expansion,
9649	9649	26 intelligent transportation systems, or both.

9661	9661	2 mitigation measures associated with the roadway capacity
9662	9662	3 expansion project as follows:
9663	9663	4 (A) within or associated with at least one of the
9664	9664	5 communities impacted by the roadway capacity expansion
9665	9665	6 project;
9666	9666	7 (B) if there is not a reasonably feasible location
9667	9667	8 under subparagraph (A), in areas of persistent poverty
9668	9668	9 or historically disadvantaged communities, as measured
9669	9669	10 and defined by federal law, guidance and notices of
9670	9670	11 funding opportunity;
9671	9671	12 (C) if there is not a reasonably feasible location
9672	9672	13 under subparagraphs (A) and (B), in the region of the
9673	9673	14 roadway capacity expansion project; and
9674	9674	15 (D) if there is not a reasonably feasible location
9675	9675	16 under subparagraphs (A) through (C), on a statewide
9676	9676	17 basis.
9677	9677	18 (4) The Department or MPO must develop and use a
9678	9678	19 process for community consultation consistent with the
9679	9679	20 requirements of subsection (m) in the development of GHG
9680	9680	21 mitigation measures that the Department or MPO uses to
9681	9681	22 achieve compliance with its GHG targets.
9682	9682	23 (5) The Department or MPO must publish an explanation
9683	9683	24 regarding the feasibility and rationale for each GHG
9684	9684	25 mitigation measure under subparagraphs (B) through (D) of
9685	9685	26 paragraph (3).

9697	9697	2 expansion project are sufficient if the total greenhouse
9698	9698	3 gas reduction from the GHG mitigation measures is at least
9699	9699	4 equal to the total GHG emissions resulting from the
9700	9700	5 roadway capacity expansion project and consistent with the
9701	9701	6 Department or MPO meeting its GHG targets.
9702	9702	7 (A) Each comparison under this paragraph must be
9703	9703	8 performed over equal comparison periods.
9704	9704	9 (B) To avoid double counting, once a GHG
9705	9705	10 mitigation measure is connected to a roadway capacity

9707	9707	12 not be used to offset greenhouse gases associated with
9708	9708	13 other roadway capacity expansion projects or other
9709	9709	14 projects included in an applicable planning document.
9710	9710	15 (7) The Department and MPOs must publish information
9711	9711	16 regarding roadway capacity expansion project GHG emissions
9712	9712	17 analyses on their websites. The information must include:
9713	9713	18 (A) an identification of each roadway capacity
9714	9714	19 expansion project; and

9734	9734	3 measure as an offset against GHG emissions only after the date
9735	9735	4 the GHG mitigation measure has been implemented.
9736	9736	5 (j) By January 1, 2029 and every 3 years thereafter, the
9737	9737	6 Department shall prepare a comprehensive, publicly released
9738	9738	7 report on statewide transportation greenhouse gas reduction
9739	9739	8 accomplishments and challenges and make recommendations for
9740	9740	9 any legislative action or State agency rulemaking that would

9742	9742	11 The report, at a minimum, shall include:
9743	9743	12 (1) a description of whether the Department and MPOs
9744	9744	13 are on track to meet their GHG targets and VMT targets;
9745	9745	14 (2) an assessment of State and local laws,
9746	9746	15 regulations, rules, and practices and recommendations for
9747	9747	16 modifications that would help ensure that the Department
9748	9748	17 and MPOs meet their GHG targets and VMT targets;
9749	9749	18 (3) a description of the benefits from reductions in
9750	9750	19 GHG emissions and copollutants in the transportation
9751	9751	20 sector, diversification of energy sources used for
9752	9752	21 transportation, and substitution of other motorized and
9753	9753	22 nonmotorized modes of travel for VMT currently being
9754	9754	23 handled by vehicles powered by internal combustion

9769	9769	2 targets;
9770	9770	3 (5) a description of the social cost of carbon
9771	9771	4 associated with the transportation systems for which the
9772	9772	5 Department and each MPO is responsible and the social cost
9773	9773	6 of carbon reductions that result from GHG mitigation
9774	9774	7 measures and other steps being taken by the Department and
9775	9775	8 each MPO to reduce GHG emissions;
9776	9776	9 (6) a description of whether measures taken by the
9777	9777	10 Department and MPOs to meet GHG targets are equitable,
9778	9778	11 minimize costs, and maximize the total benefits to the
9779	9779	12 State and its citizens; and
9780	9780	13 (7) a description of whether activities undertaken to
9781	9781	14 meet GHG targets by the Department and MPOs have unduly
9782	9782	15 burdened disproportionately impacted communities.
9783	9783	16 (k) Before including any project that has an anticipated
9784	9784	17 cost of $30,000,000 or more (i) in an applicable planning
9785	9785	18 document or (ii) as a GHG mitigation measure, the Department
9786	9786	19 or MPO shall calculate a climate equity accessibility score
9787	9787	20 for the project. The climate equity accessibility score shall
9788	9788	21 be based on a GHG emissions analysis of the project and a
9789	9789	22 measurement of (i) the current levels of access to jobs,
9790	9790	23 hospitals, schools, and food by available modes of
9791	9791	24 transportation and (ii) the current level of affordability of
9792	9792	25 transportation in the project area. The Department and MPO
9793	9793	26 shall then calculate a climate equity accessibility score

9804	9804	1 based on the projected change in GHG emissions, accessibility,
9805	9805	2 and affordability from the proposed project. Projects that
9806	9806	3 result in relatively high reductions of GHG emissions while
9807	9807	4 increasing access to jobs and other destinations and providing
9808	9808	5 more affordable transportation options will receive a higher
9809	9809	6 climate equity accessibility score than projects that fail to
9810	9810	7 deliver such benefits. To advance the goals of this Section
9811	9811	8 and optimize the use of public funds, the Department and MPOs
9812	9812	9 shall give priority to projects with high climate equity
9813	9813	10 accessibility scores, considering which project delivers the
9814	9814	11 most climate equity accessibility score benefit per dollar
9815	9815	12 invested. The Department, with the assistance of the
9816	9816	13 Environmental Protection Agency, shall provide technical
9817	9817	14 assistance to MPOs in fulfilling their responsibilities under
9818	9818	15 this subsection.

9825	9825	22 coordination planning to help the Department and MPOs meet
9826	9826	23 their GHG targets.
9827	9827	24 (1) MPOs shall develop housing coordination plans
9828	9828	25 consistent with subparagraph (C) of paragraph (4) of

11279	11279	8 unit of local government may, by such proceedings, direct that
11280	11280	9 such pledged receipts payable to such unit of local government
11281	11281	10 be paid to the Authority or such other entity (including,

12173	12173	5 On or before December 1, 1992, and each December 1

12175	12175	7 Office of Management and Budget (formerly Bureau of the
12176	12176	8 Budget) of the amount estimated to be necessary to pay for
12177	12177	9 audits, studies, and investigations in accordance with the

13208	13208	2 Sec. 6. Credit memorandum or refund. If it appears, after
13209	13209	3 claim therefor filed with the Department, that an amount of
13210	13210	4 tax or penalty or interest has been paid which was not due
13211	13211	5 under this Act, whether as the result of a mistake of fact or
13212	13212	6 an error of law, except as hereinafter provided, then the
13213	13213	7 Department shall issue a credit memorandum or refund to the
13214	13214	8 person who made the erroneous payment or, if that person died
13215	13215	9 or became a person under legal disability, to his or her legal
13216	13216	10 representative, as such. For purposes of this Section, the tax
13217	13217	11 is deemed to be erroneously paid by a retailer when the
13218	13218	12 manufacturer of a motor vehicle sold by the retailer accepts
13219	13219	13 the return of that automobile and refunds to the purchaser the
13220	13220	14 selling price of that vehicle as provided in the New Vehicle
13221	13221	15 Buyer Protection Act. When a motor vehicle is returned for a
13222	13222	16 refund of the purchase price under the New Vehicle Buyer
13223	13223	17 Protection Act, the Department shall issue a credit memorandum
13224	13224	18 or a refund for the amount of tax paid by the retailer under
13225	13225	19 this Act attributable to the initial sale of that vehicle.
13226	13226	20 Claims submitted by the retailer are subject to the same
13227	13227	21 restrictions and procedures provided for in this Act. If it is
13228	13228	22 determined that the Department should issue a credit
13229	13229	23 memorandum or refund, the Department may first apply the
13230	13230	24 amount thereof against any tax or penalty or interest due or to
13231	13231	25 become due under this Act or under the Use Tax Act, the Service

13250	13250	9 penalty or interest is due and no proceeding is pending to
13251	13251	10 determine whether such person is indebted to the Department
13252	13252	11 for tax or penalty or interest, the credit memorandum or
13253	13253	12 refund shall be issued to the claimant; or (in the case of a
13254	13254	13 credit memorandum) the credit memorandum may be assigned and
13255	13255	14 set over by the lawful holder thereof, subject to reasonable

13287	13287	10 and July 1 no amount of tax or penalty or interest erroneously

13470	13470	15 entered an order in the case of Oak Park Arms Associates v.
13471	13471	16 Whitley (No. 92 L 51045), in which it found that Public Act
13472	13472	17 85-1135 violates the single subject clause of the Illinois
13473	13473	18 Constitution (Article IV, Section 8(d)). As of the time
13474	13474	19 this Act was prepared, the order declaring P.A. 85-1135
13475	13475	20 invalid has been vacated but the case is subject to
13476	13476	21 appeal.
13477	13477	22 (4) The tax provisions of Public Act 85-1135 affect
13478	13478	23 many areas of vital concern to the people of this State.
13479	13479	24 The disruption of the tax reform contained in those
13480	13480	25 provisions could constitute a grave threat to the
13481	13481	26 continued health, safety, and welfare of the people of

13492	13492	1 this State.
13493	13493	2 (b) It is the purpose of this Act to prevent or minimize
13494	13494	3 any problems relating to taxation that may result from
13495	13495	4 challenges to the constitutional validity of Public Act
13496	13496	5 85-1135, by (1) re-enacting provisions from Public Act 85-1135
13497	13497	6 and (2) validating all actions taken in reliance on those
13498	13498	7 provisions from Public Act 85-1135.
13499	13499	8 (c) Because Public Act 86-962, effective January 1, 1990,
13500	13500	9 renumbered Sections 24a-1, 24a-2, 24a-3, 24a-4, and 25.05 of

13502	13502	11 renumbered under Sections 5-1006, 5-1007, 5-1008, 5-1009, and
13503	13503	12 5-1024 of the Counties Code. Because Public Act 86-1475,

13505	13505	14 Tax Act, Section 3 of the Service Use Tax Act, Section 3 of the

13530	13530	3 6z-18 of the State Finance Act and Section 0.1 of the State
13531	13531	4 Revenue Sharing Act. Sections 10b of the Use Tax Act, 10b of
13532	13532	5 the Service Use Tax Act, 20.1 of the Service Occupation Tax
13533	13533	6 Act, and 6d of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act have been

14343	14343	1 subsection is made by the employee. The Retirement Plan's
14344	14344	2 actuary shall determine the contribution paid by the
14345	14345	3 employee as an amount equal to the normal cost of the
14346	14346	4 benefit accrued, had the service been rendered as an
14347	14347	5 employee, plus interest per annum from the time such
14348	14348	6 service was rendered until the date the payment is made.
14349	14349	7 (d) From the effective date of this amendatory Act through
14350	14350	8 December 31, 2008, all participating employees shall
14351	14351	9 contribute to the Retirement Plan in an amount not less than 6%
14352	14352	10 of compensation, and the Authority shall contribute to the
14353	14353	11 Retirement Plan in an amount not less than 12% of

14355	14355	13 (e)(1) Beginning January 1, 2009 the Authority shall make
14356	14356	14 contributions to the Retirement Plan in an amount equal to
14357	14357	15 twelve percent (12%) of compensation and participating

14364	14364	22 paid by the Authority in any year with respect to debt service

14379	14379	1 any year after calendar year 2008, shall be treated as a credit
14380	14380	2 against the amount of required contribution to the Retirement
14381	14381	3 Plan by the Authority under subsection (e)(1) for the
14382	14382	4 following year up to an amount not to exceed 6% of compensation
14383	14383	5 paid by the Authority in that following year.
14384	14384	6 (3) By September 15 of each year beginning in 2009 and
14385	14385	7 ending on December 31, 2039, on the basis of a report prepared
14386	14386	8 by an enrolled actuary retained by the Plan, the Board of
14387	14387	9 Trustees of the Retirement Plan shall determine the estimated
14388	14388	10 funded ratio of the total assets of the Retirement Plan to its
14389	14389	11 total actuarially determined liabilities. A report containing
14390	14390	12 that determination and the actuarial assumptions on which it
14391	14391	13 is based shall be filed with the Authority, the
14392	14392	14 representatives of its participating employees, the Auditor
14393	14393	15 General of the State of Illinois, and the Metropolitan
14394	14394	16 Mobility Regional Transportation Authority. If the funded
14395	14395	17 ratio is projected to decline below 60% in any year before
14396	14396	18 2040, the Board of Trustees shall also determine the increased
14397	14397	19 contribution required each year as a level percentage of
14398	14398	20 payroll over the years remaining until 2040 using the
14399	14399	21 projected unit credit actuarial cost method so the funded
14400	14400	22 ratio does not decline below 60% and include that
14401	14401	23 determination in its report. If the actual funded ratio
14402	14402	24 declines below 60% in any year prior to 2040, the Board of
14403	14403	25 Trustees shall also determine the increased contribution
14404	14404	26 required each year as a level percentage of payroll during the
14405	14405
14406	14406
14407	14407

14415	14415	1 years after the then current year using the projected unit
14416	14416	2 credit actuarial cost method so the funded ratio is projected
14417	14417	3 to reach at least 60% no later than 10 years after the then
14418	14418	4 current year and include that determination in its report.
14419	14419	5 Within 60 days after receiving the report, the Auditor General
14420	14420	6 shall review the determination and the assumptions on which it
14421	14421	7 is based, and if he finds that the determination and the
14422	14422	8 assumptions on which it is based are unreasonable in the
14423	14423	9 aggregate, he shall issue a new determination of the funded
14424	14424	10 ratio, the assumptions on which it is based and the increased
14425	14425	11 contribution required each year as a level percentage of
14426	14426	12 payroll over the years remaining until 2040 using the
14427	14427	13 projected unit credit actuarial cost method so the funded
14428	14428	14 ratio does not decline below 60%, or, in the event of an actual
14429	14429	15 decline below 60%, so the funded ratio is projected to reach
14430	14430	16 60% by no later than 10 years after the then current year. If
14431	14431	17 the Board of Trustees or the Auditor General determine that an
14432	14432	18 increased contribution is required to meet the funded ratio
14433	14433	19 required by the subsection, effective January 1 following the
14434	14434	20 determination or 30 days after such determination, whichever
14435	14435	21 is later, one-third of the increased contribution shall be
14436	14436	22 paid by participating employees and two-thirds by the
14437	14437	23 Authority, in addition to the contributions required by this
14438	14438	24 subsection (1).
14439	14439	25 (4) For the period beginning 2040, the minimum
14440	14440	26 contribution to the Retirement Plan for each fiscal year shall

14451	14451	1 be an amount determined by the Board of Trustees of the
14452	14452	2 Retirement Plan to be sufficient to bring the total assets of
14453	14453	3 the Retirement Plan up to 90% of its total actuarial
14454	14454	4 liabilities by the end of 2059. Participating employees shall
14455	14455	5 be responsible for one-third of the required contribution and
14456	14456	6 the Authority shall be responsible for two-thirds of the
14457	14457	7 required contribution. In making these determinations, the
14458	14458	8 Board of Trustees shall calculate the required contribution
14459	14459	9 each year as a level percentage of payroll over the years
14460	14460	10 remaining to and including fiscal year 2059 using the
14461	14461	11 projected unit credit actuarial cost method. A report
14462	14462	12 containing that determination and the actuarial assumptions on
14463	14463	13 which it is based shall be filed by September 15 of each year
14464	14464	14 with the Authority, the representatives of its participating
14465	14465	15 employees, the Auditor General of the State of Illinois and
14466	14466	16 the Metropolitan Mobility Regional Transportation Authority.
14467	14467	17 If the funded ratio is projected to fail to reach 90% by
14468	14468	18 December 31, 2059, the Board of Trustees shall also determine
14469	14469	19 the increased contribution required each year as a level
14470	14470	20 percentage of payroll over the years remaining until December
14471	14471	21 31, 2059 using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method

14891	14891	10 (A) the actuarial present value of projected
14892	14892	11 benefits expected to be paid to current and future
14893	14893	12 retirees and their dependents and survivors;
14894	14894	13 (B) the actuarial present value of projected

14897	14897	16 (b)(3)(ii); and
14898	14898	17 (D) an assessment of whether the actuarial
14899	14899	18 present value of projected benefits expected to be
14900	14900	19 paid to current and future retirees and their
14901	14901	20 dependents and survivors exceeds or is less than

14923	14923	6 of not more than 10 years from each valuation date,
14924	14924	7 which would make the actuarial present value of
14925	14925	8 projected contributions and trust income plus assets
14926	14926	9 equal to or exceed the actuarial present value of
14927	14927	10 projected benefits expected to be paid to current and
14928	14928	11 future retirees and their dependents and survivors.
14929	14929	12 The plan may consist of increases in employee,
14930	14930	13 retiree, dependent, or survivor contribution levels,
14931	14931	14 decreases in benefit levels, or other plan changes or
14932	14932	15 any combination thereof. If the actuarial present
14933	14933	16 value of projected benefits expected to be paid to
14934	14934	17 current and future retirees and their dependents and

14937	14937	20 in excess of the reserve required by subsection

14940	14940	23 contribution levels, increases in benefit levels, or
14941	14941	24 other plan changes, or any combination thereof, to the

14960	14960	7 (A) In the event of a projected shortfall, if
14961	14961	8 the Auditor General determines that the
14962	14962	9 assumptions stated in the report are not
14963	14963	10 unreasonable in the aggregate and that the plan of
14964	14964	11 increases in employee, retiree, dependent, or
14965	14965	12 survivor contribution levels, decreases in benefit
14966	14966	13 levels, or other plan changes, or any combination
14967	14967	14 thereof, to be implemented over a period of not
14968	14968	15 more than 10 years from each valuation date, is
14969	14969	16 reasonably projected to make the actuarial present
14970	14970	17 value of projected contributions and trust income
14971	14971	18 plus assets equal to or in excess of the actuarial
14972	14972	19 present value of projected benefits expected to be

14998	14998	9 dependents and survivors, then the Board of
14999	14999	10 Trustees shall not implement the plan, the Auditor
15000	15000	11 General shall explain the basis for such
15001	15001	12 determination to the Board of Trustees, and the
15002	15002	13 Auditor General may make recommendations as to an
15003	15003	14 alternative report and plan.
15004	15004	15 (B) In the event of a projected surplus, if
15005	15005	16 the Auditor General determines that the
15006	15006	17 assumptions stated in the report are not
15007	15007	18 unreasonable in the aggregate and that the plan of
15008	15008	19 decreases in employee, retiree, dependent, or
15009	15009	20 survivor contribution levels, increases in benefit
15010	15010	21 levels, or both, is not unreasonable in the

15033	15033	8 alternative report and plan.
15034	15034	9 (C) The Board of Trustees shall submit an
15035	15035	10 alternative report and plan within 45 days after
15036	15036	11 receiving a rejection determination by the Auditor
15037	15037	12 General. A determination by the Auditor General on
15038	15038	13 any alternative report and plan submitted by the

15169	15169	1 (b) The contributing employers of each affected pension
15170	15170	2 plan have a general duty to make the required employer
15171	15171	3 contributions to the affected pension plan in a timely manner
15172	15172	4 in accordance with the terms of the plan. A contributing
15173	15173	5 employer must make contributions to the affected pension plan
15174	15174	6 as required under this subsection and, if applicable,
15175	15175	7 subsection (c); a contributing employer may make any

15185	15185	17 the contributing employers and the trustee of the affected
15186	15186	18 pension plan. The amortization schedule may extend for any
15187	15187	19 period up to a maximum of 50 years and shall provide for
15188	15188	20 additional employer contributions in substantially equal
15189	15189	21 annual amounts over the selected period. If the contributing
15190	15190	22 employers and the trustee of the affected pension plan do not

15192	15192	24 within 6 months of the date of determination that the plan is
15193	15193	25 under-funded, then the amortization schedule shall be based on

15205	15205	1 In the case of an affected pension plan that has more than
15206	15206	2 one contributing employer, each contributing employer's share
15207	15207	3 of the total additional employer contributions required under

15210	15210	6 employers have failed to meet their contribution obligations
15211	15211	7 under the terms of the affected pension plan; or (ii) if all of
15212	15212	8 the contributing employers have met their contribution
15213	15213	9 obligations under the terms of the affected pension plan, then
15214	15214	10 in the same proportion as they are required to contribute
15215	15215	11 under the terms of that plan. In the case of an affected
15216	15216	12 pension plan that has only one contributing employer, that
15217	15217	13 contributing employer is responsible for all of the additional
15218	15218	14 employer contributions required under this subsection.

15222	15222	18 contributing employers and the trustee of the affected pension
15223	15223	19 plan, acting jointly, may cancel the amortization schedule and
15224	15224	20 the contributing employers may cease making additional
15225	15225	21 contributions under this subsection for as long as the
15226	15226	22 affected pension plan retains a funding ratio of at least 90%.
15227	15227	23 (d) Beginning January 1, 2009, if the Authority fails to

15413	15413	1 meaning clearly appears from the context.
15414	15414	2 (a) For any redevelopment project area that has been
15415	15415	3 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
15416	15416	4 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
15417	15417	5 91-478), "blighted area" shall have the meaning set forth in
15418	15418	6 this Section prior to that date.
15419	15419	7 On and after November 1, 1999, "blighted area" means any
15420	15420	8 improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a
15421	15421	9 redevelopment project area located within the territorial

15423	15423	11 (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and
15424	15424	12 residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to
15425	15425	13 the public safety, health, or welfare because of a
15426	15426	14 combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of
15427	15427	15 which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a
15428	15428	16 meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
15429	15429	17 find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
15430	15430	18 of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
15431	15431	19 improved part of the redevelopment project area:
15432	15432	20 (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair
15433	15433	21 or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary
15434	15434	22 structural components of buildings or improvements in
15435	15435	23 such a combination that a documented building
15436	15436	24 condition analysis determines that major repair is
15437	15437	25 required or the defects are so serious and so
15438	15438	26 extensive that the buildings must be removed.

15449	15449	1 (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of
15450	15450	2 falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited
15451	15451	3 for the original use.
15452	15452	4 (C) Deterioration. With respect to buildings,
15453	15453	5 defects including, but not limited to, major defects
15454	15454	6 in the secondary building components such as doors,
15455	15455	7 windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia.
15456	15456	8 With respect to surface improvements, that the
15457	15457	9 condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters,
15458	15458	10 sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage
15459	15459	11 areas evidence deterioration, including, but not
15460	15460	12 limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
15461	15461	13 depressions, loose paving material, and weeds
15462	15462	14 protruding through paved surfaces.

15485	15485	1 represent an adverse influence on the area because of
15486	15486	2 the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.
15487	15487	3 (G) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
15488	15488	4 facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for
15489	15489	5 light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without
15490	15490	6 windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor,
15491	15491	7 gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials.
15492	15492	8 Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the
15493	15493	9 absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces or
15494	15494	10 rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room
15495	15495	11 area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary
15496	15496	12 facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of
15497	15497	13 garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities,
15498	15498	14 hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
15499	15499	15 preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms
15500	15500	16 and units within a building.
15501	15501	17 (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
15502	15502	18 utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
15503	15503	19 sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
15504	15504	20 electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
15505	15505	21 Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
15506	15506	22 insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
15507	15507	23 redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
15508	15508	24 antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
15509	15509	25 lacking within the redevelopment project area.
15510	15510	26 (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
15511	15511

15521	15521	1 structures and community facilities. The
15522	15522	2 over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
15523	15523	3 buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
15524	15524	4 Examples of problem conditions warranting the
15525	15525	5 designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive
15526	15526	6 land coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings
15527	15527	7 either improperly situated on parcels or located on
15528	15528	8 parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
15529	15529	9 present-day standards of development for health and
15530	15530	10 safety and (ii) the presence of multiple buildings on
15531	15531	11 a single parcel. For there to be a finding of excessive
15532	15532	12 land coverage, these parcels must exhibit one or more
15533	15533	13 of the following conditions: insufficient provision
15534	15534	14 for light and air within or around buildings,
15535	15535	15 increased threat of spread of fire due to the close
15536	15536	16 proximity of buildings, lack of adequate or proper
15537	15537	17 access to a public right-of-way, lack of reasonably
15538	15538	18 required off-street parking, or inadequate provision
15539	15539	19 for loading and service.
15540	15540	20 (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence
15541	15541	21 of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings
15542	15542	22 occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
15543	15543	23 considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
15544	15544	24 the surrounding area.
15545	15545	25 (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
15546	15546	26 redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois

15557	15557	1 Environmental Protection Agency or United States
15558	15558	2 Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
15559	15559	3 or a study conducted by an independent consultant
15560	15560	4 recognized as having expertise in environmental
15561	15561	5 remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
15562	15562	6 hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
15563	15563	7 storage tanks required by State or federal law,
15564	15564	8 provided that the remediation costs constitute a
15565	15565	9 material impediment to the development or
15566	15566	10 redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
15567	15567	11 (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
15568	15568	12 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
15569	15569	13 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
15570	15570	14 This means that the development occurred prior to the
15571	15571	15 adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
15572	15572	16 other community plan or that the plan was not followed
15573	15573	17 at the time of the area's development. This factor
15574	15574	18 must be documented by evidence of adverse or
15575	15575	19 incompatible land-use relationships, inadequate street
15576	15576	20 layout, improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate
15577	15577	21 shape and size to meet contemporary development
15578	15578	22 standards, or other evidence demonstrating an absence
15579	15579	23 of effective community planning.
15580	15580	24 (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
15581	15581	25 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3

15603	15603	11 (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
15604	15604	12 project area is impaired by a combination of 2 or more of
15605	15605	13 the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
15606	15606	14 that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a
15607	15607	15 municipality may reasonably find that the factor is
15608	15608	16 clearly present within the intent of the Act and (ii)
15609	15609	17 reasonably distributed throughout the vacant part of the
15610	15610	18 redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
15611	15611	19 (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that results
15612	15612	20 in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations
15613	15613	21 of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be
15614	15614	22 difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner
15615	15615	23 compatible with contemporary standards and
15616	15616	24 requirements, or platting that failed to create

15633	15633	5 ability to assemble the land for development.
15634	15634	6 (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist
15635	15635	7 or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
15636	15636	8 the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.
15637	15637	9 (D) Deterioration of structures or site
15638	15638	10 improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the
15639	15639	11 vacant land.
15640	15640	12 (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
15641	15641	13 Protection Agency or United States Environmental
15642	15642	14 Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
15643	15643	15 conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
15644	15644	16 having expertise in environmental remediation has

15711	15711	11 than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
15712	15712	12 vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used
15713	15713	13 for commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years
15714	15714	14 prior to the designation of the redevelopment project
15715	15715	15 area), and the area meets at least one of the factors
15716	15716	16 itemized in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area

15737	15737	1 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
15738	15738	2 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
15739	15739	3 in this Section prior to that date.
15740	15740	4 On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
15741	15741	5 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
15742	15742	6 project area located within the territorial limits of the
15743	15743	7 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
15744	15744	8 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
15745	15745	9 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
15746	15746	10 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
15747	15747	11 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
15748	15748	12 (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
15749	15749	13 neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
15750	15750	14 components of buildings or improvements in such a
15751	15751	15 combination that a documented building condition analysis
15752	15752	16 determines that major repair is required or the defects
15753	15753	17 are so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
15754	15754	18 removed.
15755	15755	19 (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling
15756	15756	20 into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the
15757	15757	21 original use.
15758	15758	22 (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
15759	15759	23 including, but not limited to, major defects in the
15760	15760	24 secondary building components such as doors, windows,
15761	15761	25 porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With respect

15775	15775	3 but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
15776	15776	4 depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding
15777	15777	5 through paved surfaces.
15778	15778	6 (4) Presence of structures below minimum code
15779	15779	7 standards. All structures that do not meet the standards
15780	15780	8 of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other
15781	15781	9 governmental codes applicable to property, but not
15782	15782	10 including housing and property maintenance codes.
15783	15783	11 (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
15784	15784	12 structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or
15785	15785	13 local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
15786	15786	14 of structures below minimum code standards.
15787	15787	15 (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
15788	15788	16 that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent
15789	15789	17 an adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
15790	15790	18 extent, or duration of the vacancies.
15791	15791	19 (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
15792	15792	20 facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
15793	15793	21 or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
15794	15794	22 that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
15795	15795	23 other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light
15796	15796	24 and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of
15797	15797	25 skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and
15798	15798	26 improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window

15809	15809	1 area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the
15810	15810	2 absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,
15811	15811	3 bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and
15812	15812	4 structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to
15813	15813	5 and from all rooms and units within a building.
15814	15814	6 (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
15815	15815	7 utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
15816	15816	8 sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
15817	15817	9 electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
15818	15818	10 Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
15819	15819	11 insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
15820	15820	12 redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated, antiquated,
15821	15821	13 obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii) lacking within the
15822	15822	14 redevelopment project area.
15823	15823	15 (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
15824	15824	16 structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
15825	15825	17 use of property and the crowding of buildings and
15826	15826	18 accessory facilities onto a site. Examples of problem
15827	15827	19 conditions warranting the designation of an area as one
15828	15828	20 exhibiting excessive land coverage are: the presence of
15829	15829	21 buildings either improperly situated on parcels or located
15830	15830	22 on parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
15831	15831	23 present-day standards of development for health and safety
15832	15832	24 and the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
15833	15833	25 For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
15834	15834	26 these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following

15845	15845	1 conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
15846	15846	2 within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
15847	15847	3 fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of
15848	15848	4 adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack
15849	15849	5 of reasonably required off-street parking, or inadequate
15850	15850	6 provision for loading and service.
15851	15851	7 (10) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence of
15852	15852	8 incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by
15853	15853	9 inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered to be
15854	15854	10 noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the surrounding
15855	15855	11 area.
15856	15856	12 (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
15857	15857	13 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
15858	15858	14 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
15859	15859	15 means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
15860	15860	16 by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
15861	15861	17 plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
15862	15862	18 area's development. This factor must be documented by
15863	15863	19 evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
15864	15864	20 relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
15865	15865	21 subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
15866	15866	22 contemporary development standards, or other evidence
15867	15867	23 demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.
15868	15868	24 (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
15869	15869	25 Protection Agency or United States Environmental
15870	15870	26 Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study

16314	16314	2 The provisions of items (B) and (C) of this subsection (n)
16315	16315	3 shall not apply to a municipality that before March 14, 1994
16316	16316	4 (the effective date of Public Act 88-537) had fixed, either by
16317	16317	5 its corporate authorities or by a commission designated under

16319	16319	7 public hearing as required by subsection (a) of Section
16320	16320	8 11-74.4-5. No redevelopment plan shall be adopted unless a
16321	16321	9 municipality complies with all of the following requirements:
16322	16322	10 (1) The municipality finds that the redevelopment
16323	16323	11 project area on the whole has not been subject to growth
16324	16324	12 and development through investment by private enterprise
16325	16325	13 and would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed
16326	16326	14 without the adoption of the redevelopment plan, provided,
16327	16327	15 however, that such a finding shall not be required with
16328	16328	16 respect to any redevelopment project area located within a
16329	16329	17 transit facility improvement area established pursuant to
16330	16330	18 Section 11-74.4-3.3.
16331	16331	19 (2) The municipality finds that the redevelopment plan
16332	16332	20 and project conform to the comprehensive plan for the
16333	16333	21 development of the municipality as a whole, or, for
16334	16334	22 municipalities with a population of 100,000 or more,
16335	16335	23 regardless of when the redevelopment plan and project was
16336	16336	24 adopted, the redevelopment plan and project either: (i)
16337	16337	25 conforms to the strategic economic development or

16350	16350	2 that have been approved by the planning commission of the
16351	16351	3 municipality.
16352	16352	4 (3) The redevelopment plan establishes the estimated
16353	16353	5 dates of completion of the redevelopment project and
16354	16354	6 retirement of obligations issued to finance redevelopment
16355	16355	7 project costs. Those dates may not be later than the dates
16356	16356	8 set forth under Section 11-74.4-3.5.
16357	16357	9 A municipality may by municipal ordinance amend an
16358	16358	10 existing redevelopment plan to conform to this paragraph
16359	16359	11 (3) as amended by Public Act 91-478, which municipal
16360	16360	12 ordinance may be adopted without further hearing or notice
16361	16361	13 and without complying with the procedures provided in this
16362	16362	14 Act pertaining to an amendment to or the initial approval
16363	16363	15 of a redevelopment plan and project and designation of a
16364	16364	16 redevelopment project area.
16365	16365	17 (3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an
16366	16366	18 industrial park conservation area, also that the
16367	16367	19 municipality is a labor surplus municipality and that the
16368	16368	20 implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce
16369	16369	21 unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
16370	16370	22 facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts
16371	16371	23 that extend into the redevelopment project area.
16372	16372	24 (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
16373	16373	25 under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
16374	16374	26 redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after

16385	16385	1 January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the
16386	16386	2 redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
16387	16387	3 developed without the use of such incremental revenues,
16388	16388	4 and (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively
16389	16389	5 utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
16390	16390	6 area.
16391	16391	7 (5) If: (a) the redevelopment plan will not result in
16392	16392	8 displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
16393	16393	9 residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
16394	16394	10 plan that such displacement will not result from the plan;
16395	16395	11 or (b) the redevelopment plan is for a redevelopment
16396	16396	12 project area or a qualifying transit facility located
16397	16397	13 within a transit facility improvement area established
16398	16398	14 pursuant to Section 11-74.4-3.3, and the applicable
16399	16399	15 project is subject to the process for evaluation of
16400	16400	16 environmental effects under the National Environmental
16401	16401	17 Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., then a housing
16402	16402	18 impact study need not be performed. If, however, the
16403	16403	19 redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of
16404	16404	20 residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or
16405	16405	21 if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more
16406	16406	22 inhabited residential units and no certification is made,
16407	16407	23 then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the
16408	16408	24 separate feasibility report required by subsection (a) of
16409	16409	25 Section 11-74.4-5, a housing impact study.

16426	16426	6 ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of
16427	16427	7 Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the
16428	16428	8 racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the
16429	16429	9 inhabited residential units. The data requirement as to
16430	16430	10 the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the
16431	16431	11 inhabited residential units shall be deemed to be fully
16432	16432	12 satisfied by data from the most recent federal census.
16433	16433	13 Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the
16434	16434	14 inhabited residential units in the proposed redevelopment
16435	16435	15 project area that are to be or may be removed. If inhabited
16436	16436	16 residential units are to be removed, then the housing
16437	16437	17 impact study shall identify (i) the number and location of
16438	16438	18 those units that will or may be removed, (ii) the
16439	16439	19 municipality's plans for relocation assistance for those
16440	16440	20 residents in the proposed redevelopment project area whose
16441	16441	21 residences are to be removed, (iii) the availability of
16442	16442	22 replacement housing for those residents whose residences
16443	16443	23 are to be removed, and shall identify the type, location,
16444	16444	24 and cost of the housing, and (iv) the type and extent of

16460	16460	4 plan shall be adopted, nor an existing plan amended, nor
16461	16461	5 shall residential housing that is occupied by households
16462	16462	6 of low-income and very low-income persons in currently

16472	16472	16 housing may be either existing or newly constructed
16473	16473	17 housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
16474	16474	18 households", "very low-income households", and "affordable
16475	16475	19 housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois
16476	16476	20 Affordable Housing Act. The municipality shall make a good

16937	16937	13 the Total Operating Expenditures Per Capita for the
16938	16938	14 library in the previous fiscal year. The municipality may
16939	16939	15 deduct from the amount that it must pay to a library
16940	16940	16 district under this paragraph any amount that it has
16941	16941	17 voluntarily paid to the library district from the tax
16942	16942	18 increment revenue. The amount paid to a library district
16943	16943	19 under this paragraph (7.7) shall be no more than 2% of the

16971	16971	11 right to all or a portion of the reimbursement otherwise
16972	16972	12 required by this paragraph (7.7). By acceptance of such
16973	16973	13 reimbursement, the library district shall forfeit any

17074	17074	6 low-income households as defined in Section 3 of the
17075	17075	7 Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of

17109	17109	5 under the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of
17110	17110	6 paragraph (11) shall be established by guidelines
17111	17111	7 adopted by the municipality. The responsibility for
17112	17112	8 annually documenting the initial occupancy of the
17113	17113	9 units by low-income households and very low-income
17114	17114	10 households, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois
17115	17115	11 Affordable Housing Act, shall be that of the then
17116	17116	12 current owner of the property. For ownership units,
17117	17117	13 the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, for a
17118	17118	14 reasonable recapture of funds, or other appropriate
17119	17119	15 methods designed to preserve the original
17120	17120	16 affordability of the ownership units. For rental
17121	17121	17 units, the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, for
17122	17122	18 the affordability of rent to low and very low-income
17123	17123	19 households. As units become available, they shall be
17124	17124	20 rented to income-eligible tenants. The municipality
17125	17125	21 may modify these guidelines from time to time; the
17126	17126	22 guidelines, however, shall be in effect for as long as
17127	17127	23 tax increment revenue is being used to pay for costs
17128	17128	24 associated with the units or for the retirement of

18034	18034	6 For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized

18049	18049	21 Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize
18050	18050	22 a county water commission to impose a tax upon the privilege of
18051	18051	23 engaging in any business which under the Constitution of the
18052	18052	24 United States may not be made the subject of taxation by this

18390	18390	4 State-authorized charter school whose resident district is not
18391	18391	5 a school district organized under Article 34 of this Code, the
18392	18392	6 State Board of Education shall calculate the average of the
18393	18393	7 number of students in grades kindergarten through 12 reported
18394	18394	8 as enrolled in the charter school in the State Board's Student
18395	18395	9 Information System on October 1 and March 1 of the immediately
18396	18396	10 preceding school year. That value shall be divided by the
18397	18397	11 average of the number of students in grades kindergarten
18398	18398	12 through 12 reported as enrolled in the charter school's
18399	18399	13 resident district on October 1 and March 1 of the immediately
18400	18400	14 preceding school year. That proportion shall be multiplied by
18401	18401	15 the real equalized assessed valuation as computed under

18403	18403	17 State-authorized charter school's applicable resident
18404	18404	18 district. A State-authorized charter school whose resident
18405	18405	19 district is organized under Article 34 of this Code shall have
18406	18406	20 a real equalized assessed valuation equal to the real
18407	18407	21 equalized assessed valuation of its resident district as
18408	18408	22 computed under paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of Section
18409	18409	23 18-8.15. A State-authorized charter school's qualifying rate

18426	18426	4 The Transportation Fund tax rate for a partial elementary unit

18435	18435	13 Transportation Fund tax rate from .12% and multiplying that

18439	18439	17 in reimbursement of less than 4/5 of the cost to transport
18440	18440	18 eligible pupils. No such adjustment may be applied to a claim
18441	18441	19 filed by a State-authorized charter school.
18442	18442	20 Subject to the calculation of equalized assessed
18443	18443	21 valuation, an adjustment for an insufficient tax rate, and the
18444	18444	22 use of a qualifying rate as provided in this Section, a

18471	18471	13 of transporting eligible pupils.
18472	18472	14 School day means that period of time during which the
18473	18473	15 pupil is required to be in attendance for instructional

18651	18651	13 classify all or a portion of the funds that it receives in a
18652	18652	14 particular fiscal year or from State aid pursuant to Section
18653	18653	15 18-8.15 of this Code as funds received in connection with any
18654	18654	16 funding program for which it is entitled to receive funds from
18655	18655	17 the State in that fiscal year (including, without limitation,
18656	18656	18 any funding program referenced in this Section), regardless of
18657	18657	19 the source or timing of the receipt. The district may not
18658	18658	20 classify more funds as funds received in connection with the
18659	18659	21 funding program than the district is entitled to receive in
18660	18660	22 that fiscal year for that program. Any classification by a

18830	18830	15 distribution infrastructure located on the utility side of the
18831	18831	16 customer meter needed to charge electric vehicles on a

18858	18858	8 (c) Not later than the next multi-year rate case, each
18859	18859	9 electric utility shall propose a new tariff or rule that
18860	18860	10 authorizes each electric utility to design and deploy all
18861	18861	11 electrical distribution infrastructure on the utility side of
18862	18862	12 the customer's meter for all customers installing separate or
18863	18863	13 sub-metered infrastructure to support charging stations, other
18864	18864	14 than those in single-family residences. Each electric utility
18865	18865	15 shall recover its revenue requirement for this work through
18866	18866	16 periodic multi-year rate plan proceedings. In those
18867	18867	17 proceedings, the costs shall be treated like those costs
18868	18868	18 incurred for other necessary distribution infrastructure. The
18869	18869	19 new tariff shall replace the line extension rules currently
18870	18870	20 used for electric vehicle infrastructure as of the effective
18871	18871	21 date of the new tariff or rule and any customer allowances
18872	18872	22 established shall be based on the full useful life of the
18873	18873	23 electrical distribution infrastructure. The Commission may

18898	18898	12 (a) The purpose of this Section is for the Commission to
18899	18899	13 require electric utilities to explore a new and complementary
18900	18900	14 mechanism for investments by the electric utility in the
18901	18901	15 electrical distribution infrastructure and equipment located
18902	18902	16 on the customer side of the meter that may be needed to charge
18903	18903	17 electric vehicles. Electrical distribution infrastructure that
18904	18904	18 may be needed on the customer side of the meter includes
18905	18905	19 wiring, panels, breaker panels, conduit up to the charger
18906	18906	20 itself and the electric vehicle charger. The new mechanism is
18907	18907	21 an inclusive utility investment with a site-specific recovery
18908	18908	22 mechanism described in subsection (b). The Commission shall
18909	18909	23 require each electric utility to explore this mechanism as an
18910	18910	24 option to complement other incentives offered (such as charger

18924	18924	3 to expanding access to cost-effective more comprehensive
18925	18925	4 efficiency and electrification upgrades for all utility
18926	18926	5 customers. Inclusive utility investment allows for
18927	18927	6 site-specific investments by the electric utility in
18928	18928	7 electrification measures on the customer side of the meter
18929	18929	8 with site-specific cost recovery through a fixed charge on the
18930	18930	9 utility bill of the customer at the metered location. The
18931	18931	10 fixed charge must be no more than the expected energy cost
18932	18932	11 savings resulting from a customer switching from an internal
18933	18933	12 combustion engine vehicle with associated fuel costs to an
18934	18934	13 electric vehicle with associated electric charging costs on an

20415	20415	3 any train, railroad car or engine to obstruct public
20416	20416	4 travel at a railroad-highway grade crossing for a period
20417	20417	5 in excess of 10 minutes, except where such train or
20418	20418	6 railroad car is continuously moving or cannot be moved by
20419	20419	7 reason of circumstances over which the rail carrier has no
20420	20420	8 reasonable control.
20421	20421	9 In a county with a population of greater than
20422	20422	10 1,000,000, as determined by the most recent federal
20423	20423	11 census, during the hours of 7:00 a.m. through 9:00 a.m.
20424	20424	12 and 4:00 p.m. through 6:00 p.m. it is unlawful for a rail
20425	20425	13 carrier to permit any single train or railroad car to
20426	20426	14 obstruct public travel at a railroad-highway grade
20427	20427	15 crossing in excess of a total of 10 minutes during a
20428	20428	16 30-minute 30 minute period, except where the train or
20429	20429	17 railroad car cannot be moved by reason or circumstances
20430	20430	18 over which the rail carrier has no reasonable control.
20431	20431	19 Under no circumstances will a moving train be stopped for
20432	20432	20 the purposes of issuing a citation related to this
20433	20433	21 Section.
20434	20434	22 However, no employee acting under the rules or orders
20435	20435	23 of the rail carrier or its supervisory personnel may be
20436	20436	24 prosecuted for a violation of this subsection (b).

20466	20466	18 (2) Other operational requirements.
20467	20467	19 (a) Bell and whistle-crossings. Every rail carrier
20468	20468	20 shall cause a bell, and a whistle or horn to be placed and
20469	20469	21 kept on each locomotive, and shall cause the same to be
20470	20470	22 rung or sounded by the engineer or fireman, at the
20471	20471	23 distance of at least 1,320 feet, from the place where the
20472	20472	24 railroad crosses or intersects any public highway, and
20473	20473	25 shall be kept ringing or sounding until the highway is
20474	20474	26 reached; provided that at crossings where the Commission

20486	20486	2 to determine the public is reasonably and sufficiently
20487	20487	3 protected, the rail carrier may be excused from giving
20488	20488	4 warning provided by this paragraph.
20489	20489	5 (a-5) The requirements of paragraph (a) of this
20490	20490	6 subsection (2) regarding ringing a bell and sounding a
20491	20491	7 whistle or horn do not apply at a railroad crossing that
20492	20492	8 has a permanently installed automated audible warning
20493	20493	9 device authorized by the Commission under Section
20494	20494	10 18c-7402.1 that sounds automatically when an approaching
20495	20495	11 train is at least 1,320 feet from the crossing and that
20496	20496	12 keeps sounding until the lead locomotive has crossed the
20497	20497	13 highway. The engineer or fireman may ring the bell or
20498	20498	14 sound the whistle or horn at a railroad crossing that has a
20499	20499	15 permanently installed audible warning device.
20500	20500	16 (b) Speed limits. Each rail carrier shall operate its
20501	20501	17 trains in compliance with speed limits set by the
20502	20502	18 Commission. The Commission may set train speed limits only
20503	20503	19 where such limits are necessitated by extraordinary
20504	20504	20 circumstances affecting the public safety, and shall
20505	20505	21 maintain such train speed limits in effect only for such
20506	20506	22 time as the extraordinary circumstances prevail.
20507	20507	23 The Commission and the Department of Transportation
20508	20508	24 shall conduct a study of the relation between train speeds
20509	20509	25 and railroad-highway grade crossing safety. The Commission

20522	20522	2 (c) Special speed limit; pilot project. The Commission
20523	20523	3 and the Board of the Metropolitan Mobility Authority
20524	20524	4 Commuter Rail Division of the Regional Transportation
20525	20525	5 Authority shall conduct a pilot project in the Village of
20526	20526	6 Fox River Grove, the site of the fatal school bus crash at
20527	20527	7 a railroad crossing on October 25, 1995, in order to
20528	20528	8 improve railroad crossing safety. For this project, the
20529	20529	9 Commission is directed to set the maximum train speed
20530	20530	10 limit for Metropolitan Mobility Regional Transportation
20531	20531	11 Authority trains at 50 miles per hour at intersections on
20532	20532	12 that portion of the intrastate rail line located in the
20533	20533	13 Village of Fox River Grove. If the Metropolitan Mobility
20534	20534	14 Regional Transportation Authority deliberately fails to
20535	20535	15 comply with this maximum speed limit, then any entity,
20536	20536	16 governmental or otherwise, that provides capital or
20537	20537	17 operational funds to the Metropolitan Mobility Regional
20538	20538	18 Transportation Authority shall appropriately reduce or
20539	20539	19 eliminate that funding. The Commission shall report to the
20540	20540	20 Governor and the General Assembly on the results of this
20541	20541	21 pilot project in January 1999, January 2000, and January
20542	20542	22 2001. The Commission shall also submit a final report on
20543	20543	23 the pilot project to the Governor and the General Assembly
20544	20544	24 in January 2001. The provisions of this subsection (c),
20545	20545	25 other than this sentence, are inoperative after February
20546	20546	26 1, 2001.

20559	20559	3 connection with the movement of freight unless it has an
20560	20560	4 operating crew consisting of at least 2 individuals. The
20561	20561	5 minimum freight train crew size indicated in this
20562	20562	6 subsection (d) shall remain in effect until a federal law
20563	20563	7 or rule encompassing the subject matter has been adopted.
20564	20564	8 The Commission, with respect to freight train crew member
20565	20565	9 size under this subsection (d), has the power to conduct
20566	20566	10 evidentiary hearings, make findings, and issue and enforce
20567	20567	11 orders, including sanctions under Section 18c-1704 of this
20568	20568	12 Chapter. As used in this subsection (d), "train or light
20569	20569	13 engine" does not include trains operated by a hostler

20575	20575	19 involving its equipment, track, or other property which
20576	20576	20 resulted in loss of life to any person. In addition, such
20577	20577	21 carriers shall file a written report with the Commission.
20578	20578	22 Reports submitted under this paragraph shall be strictly
20579	20579	23 confidential, shall be specifically prohibited from
20580	20580	24 disclosure, and shall not be admissible in any
