    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Renewable Energy Component Recycling Task
Force Act is amended by changing Section 15 as follows:
 
    (20 ILCS 4118/15)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2025)
    Sec. 15. Duties and report.
    (a) The REC Recycling Task Force shall have the following
duties:
        (1) Investigate options for recycling and other end of
    life management methods for renewable energy generation
    components and energy storage devices in accordance with
    State and federal requirements.
        (2) Identify preferred methods to safely and
    responsibly manage end of life renewable energy generating
    components and energy storage devices, including the reuse
    or refurbishment.
        (3) Consider the economic and environmental costs and
    benefits associated with each method of recycling or end
    of life management identified.
        (4) Project the economically productive life cycle of
    various types of renewable energy generating equipment and
    energy storage systems currently in use or planned for
    development in this State and model the impact that may be
    expected to the State's landfill capacity if landfill
    disposal is permitted for all such equipment and storage
    systems at end of life.
        (5) Survey federal and other states' and countries'
    regulatory requirements relating to the end of life
    management, decommissioning, and financial assurance
    requirements for owners, operators, developers, and
    manufacturers of renewable energy generation components
    and energy storage systems.
        (6) Identify infrastructure that may be needed to
    develop a practical, effective, and cost-efficient means
    to collect and transport end of life renewable generation
    components and energy storage systems in State for reuse,
    refurbishment, recycling, or disposal.
        (7) Receive stakeholder engagement and feedback on
    various recycling and end of life management proposals for
    renewable energy generation components and energy storage
    systems.
        (8) Develop recommendations for legislative,
    administrative, or private sector action to implement
    recycling and end of life management for renewable energy
    generation components and energy storage systems.
        (9) Consider the benefits of prohibiting a person from
    mixing renewable energy generation components and energy
    storage systems with municipal waste that is intended for
    disposal at a landfill.
        (10) Consider the benefits of prohibiting a person
    from disposing of renewable energy generation components
    and energy storage systems in a sanitary landfill.
    (b) The REC Recycling Task Force shall submit a final
report on activities conducted pursuant to this Act with
findings, including stakeholder input, to the General Assembly
and the Governor's Office no later than July 1, 2025.
