    AN ACT concerning local government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Department of Commerce and Economic 
Opportunity Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois 
is amended by adding Section 605-1115 as follows:
 
    (20 ILCS 605/605-1115 new)
    Sec. 605-1115. Task Force on Interjurisdictional 
Industrial Zoning Impacts.
    (a) The General Assembly finds that industrial 
developments typically have regional impacts, both positive 
and negative. Those impacts extend beyond the zoning authority 
of the unit of local government where the development is 
located. Units of local government may experience impacts on 
public health, public safety, the environment, traffic, 
property values, population, and other considerations as a 
result of industrial development occurring outside of the 
their zoning jurisdiction, including areas adjacent to their 
borders. 
    (b) The Task Force on Interjurisdictional Industrial 
Zoning Impacts is created within the Department of Commerce 
and Economic Opportunity. The Task Force shall examine the 
following: 
        (1) current State and local zoning laws and policies 
    related to large industrial developments; 
        (2) current State and local laws and policies related 
    to annexation; 
        (3) State and local zoning and annexation laws and 
    policies outside of Illinois; 
        (4) the potential impacts of large industrial 
    developments on neighboring units of local government, 
    including how those developments may affect residential 
    communities; 
        (5) trends in industrial zoning across urban, 
    suburban, and rural regions of Illinois; 
        (6) available methodologies to determine the impact of 
    large industrial developments; and 
        (7) outcomes in recent zoning proceedings for large 
    industrial developments or attempts to develop properties 
    for large industrial purposes, including the recent 
    attempt to convert a 101 acre campus in Lake County near 
    Deerfield. 
    (c) The Task Force on Interjurisdictional Industrial 
Zoning Impacts shall consist of the following members: 
        (1) the Director of Commerce and Economic Opportunity 
    or his or her designee; 
        (2) one member, appointed by the President of the 
    Senate, representing a statewide organization of 
    municipalities described in Section 1-8-1 of the Illinois 
    Municipal Code; 
        (3) one member, appointed by the President of the 
    Senate, representing a regional association of 
    municipalities and mayors; 
        (4) one member, appointed by the President of the 
    Senate, representing a regional association that 
    represents the commercial real estate industry; 
        (5) one member, appointed by the Speaker of the House 
    of Representatives, representing a statewide association 
    representing counties; 
        (6) one member, appointed by the Speaker of the House 
    of Representatives, representing a regional association of 
    municipalities and mayors; 
        (7) one member, appointed by the Minority Leader of 
    the Senate, representing a statewide professional economic 
    development association; 
        (8) one member, appointed by the Minority Leader of 
    the House of Representatives, representing a statewide 
    association of park districts; 
        (9) one member representing a statewide labor 
    organization, appointed by the Governor; 
        (10) one member representing the Office of the 
    Governor, appointed by the Governor; 
        (11) one member of the Senate, appointed by the 
    President of the Senate; 
        (12) one member of the Senate, appointed by the 
    Minority Leader of the Senate; 
        (13) one member of the House of Representatives, 
    appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives; 
        (14) one member of the House of Representatives, 
    appointed by the Minority Leader of the House of 
    Representatives; and 
        (15) one member representing a statewide manufacturing 
    association, appointed by the Governor. 
    (d) The members of the Task Force shall serve without 
compensation. The Department of Commerce and Economic 
Opportunity shall provide administrative support to the Task 
Force. 
    (e) The Task Force shall meet at least once every 2 months. 
Upon the first meeting of the Task Force, the members of the 
Task Force shall elect a chairperson of the Task Force. 
    (f) The Task Force shall prepare a report on its findings 
concerning zoning for large industrial development and 
associated interjurisdictional impacts, including any 
recommendations. The report shall be submitted to the Governor 
and the General Assembly no later than December 31, 2025. 
    (g) This Section is repealed June 1, 2026. 
 
    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon 
becoming law.

Effective Date:  8/9/2024
