Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Sec. 7.
State Weatherization Plan and Program.
(a) The Department shall, after consultation with the Policy Advisory
Council, prepare and promulgate an annual State Weatherization Plan
beginning in the year this Act becomes effective. To the extent
practicable, such Plan shall provide for targeting use of both State and
federal weatherization funds to the households of eligible applicants
pursuant to this Act whose ratios of energy costs to income are the
highest. The State Weatherization Plan shall include but need not be
limited to the following:
(1) a description of the demographic characteristics |
| and energy use patterns of people eligible for assistance pursuant to this Act;
|
|
(2) the methodology used by the Department in
|
| targeting weatherization funds;
|
|
(3) a description of anticipated activity and results
|
| for the year covered by the Plan, including an estimate of energy cost savings expected to be realized by the weatherization program; and
|
|
(4) every third year, beginning in 2002, an
|
| evaluation of results from the weatherization program in the year preceding the plan year, including the effect of State Weatherization Program investments on energy consumption and cost in the population eligible for assistance pursuant to this Act, and the effect of targeted weatherization investments on the costs of the energy assistance program authorized by this Act.
|
|
(b) The Department shall implement the State Weatherization Plan
by rule through a program which provides targeted weatherization assistance to
eligible applicants for energy assistance pursuant to this Act.
The Department may enter into such contracts and other arrangements with
local agencies as may be necessary for the purpose of administering the
weatherization program.
