    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:


 
    Section 5. The Government Buildings Energy Cost Reduction 
Act of 1991 is amended  by changing Section 25 as follows:
 
    (20 ILCS 3953/25)
    Sec. 25. Fluorescent or LED lighting in State buildings.  In 
order to reduce energy consumption, all buildings owned or 
leased by the State that are 1,000 square feet in size or 
larger shall, where practicable, use:
        (1) Energy Star labeled light bulbs as defined by the 
    Energy Star Program of the United States Environmental 
    Protection Agency; .
        (2) Light-emitting diode (LED)  luminaires, lamps, and 
    systems whose efficacy (lumens per watt) and Color 
    Rendering Index (CRI) meet the Department of Energy 
    requirements for minimum luminaire efficacy and CRI for the 
    Energy Star certification, as verified by an independent 
    third-party testing laboratory that the federal 
    Environmental Protection Agency Administrator and the 
    Secretary of Energy determine conducts its tests according 
    to the procedures and recommendations of the Illuminating 
    Engineering Society of North America, even if the 
    luminaires, lamps, and systems have not received such 
    certification; or
        (3) Any combination of (1) and (2).  
    Prior to implementing the use of Energy Star Light Bulbs, 
any building to which this Section applies may deplete the 
supply of non-Energy Star Light Bulbs it possesses on the 
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General 
Assembly.  Additionally, as most light bulbs contain mercury, 
all buildings to which this Section applies shall ensure the 
proper disposal of used light bulbs at a certified hazardous 
waste recycling facility.
    Historic buildings that are listed on the Illinois Register 
of Historic Places, established pursuant to Section 6 of the 
Illinois Historic Preservation Act, are exempt from the 
requirements of this Section.
