Bill Summary
Amends the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that each Department shall restore, within 18 months after closure, the site of a facility operated by the Department to its original condition before the facility was built if the facility is closed and no longer is maintained as a facility. Provides that the cost of the restoration of the site shall be paid by the Department that operated the facility.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois by adding a new section that requires state departments to restore any closed facility sites to their original condition within 18 months after closure. The restoration process involves returning the land to its state before the facility was built, with the financial responsibility for this restoration falling on the specific department that previously operated the facility. This means that if a state department closes a facility and no longer maintains it, they are legally obligated to fully rehabilitate the site, effectively ensuring environmental responsibility and land conservation by returning the area to its pre-development condition. The bill aims to promote accountability among state departments by mandating that they clean up and restore sites after facility closures, which could help prevent abandoned or degraded state-owned properties.
