AI Summary
This bill requires the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the costs and benefits of constructing the South Suburban Airport before any further state or federal funding can be allocated. Specifically, the bill prohibits the state from spending any additional funds on the airport project until the analysis is completed, which includes stopping the use of Airport Improvement Program funds. Any private developers submitting proposals to IDOT after the bill's effective date must certify that they will not use any additional funds for the airport's construction until the analysis is finished. The bill broadly defines "funds" to include not just direct construction costs, but also expenses related to studies, engineering work, environmental reviews, and other public expenditures associated with the airport project. The purpose appears to be ensuring a thorough financial and strategic review of the proposed airport before committing further resources, providing a pause to evaluate the project's feasibility and potential economic impact.
