AI Summary
This bill amends the Department of Transportation Law to require the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the costs and benefits of constructing the South Suburban Airport. The bill places a moratorium on allocating any additional state funds or using Airport Improvement Program funds for the airport's construction until this analysis is completed. Additionally, any future requests for proposals must include a certification from private developers that no additional funds will be used for the airport's construction until the analysis is finished. The bill broadly defines "funds" to include not just direct construction costs, but also any associated expenses such as studies, engineering work, environmental reviews, or other public expenditures related to the airport project. This legislation aims to pause the airport development process and ensure a thorough evaluation of the project's financial and potential impact before further resources are committed.
