Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)

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.


220 ILCS 5/23-105

    (220 ILCS 5/23-105)
    (This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a delayed effective date)
    Sec. 23-105. Findings. The General Assembly finds that the timely siting and development of commercial wind energy facilities, commercial solar energy facilities and energy storage system facilities is critical to the State's energy security and that it is the policy of the State that:
        (1) the General Assembly has adopted state-wide
    
county siting regulations to establish uniform standards for commercial wind energy facilities, commercial solar energy facilities, and energy storage system facilities throughout this State;
        (2) a consistent dispute resolution process, with
    
respect to the siting and development of commercial wind energy facilities, commercial solar energy facilities and energy storage system facilities is necessary to provide fair and expeditious decisions on siting disputes to parties affected by the development and siting of a renewable energy project;
        (3) empowering the Commission to resolve siting
    
disputes and issue siting certificates would allow parties to avoid time-consuming and costly litigation and would provide consistency and certainty to the renewable energy siting and development process in the State; and
        (4) the Commission has the relevant expertise to
    
establish and govern a renewable energy siting certificate issuance and dispute resolution process.
