Fiscal Note, House Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)

This legislation requires all buildings owned or operated by the State, except for historic buildings on the Illinois Register of Historic Places, to use fluorescent, rather than incandescent light bulbs. The Department of Central Management Services is responsible for the management of all facilities, including buildings occupied by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. The Department does not have the data to analyze how many fixtures in State buildings this legislation would require to be changed and the costs involved. The Department of Central Management Services would be in a better position to apply a fiscal impact on this legislation.

Excludes certain historic buildings from the provisions of the Section.
