Bill > SB2979

This bill, titled COUNTY/MUNI-NATURAL GAS, amends existing Illinois laws, specifically the Counties Code and the Illinois Municipal Code, to prevent local governments from banning natural gas in new construction without voter approval. It clarifies that neither a county nor a municipality can enact any rule that would stop or effectively stop the use of natural gas in newly built structures unless the issue is put to a public vote, known as a referendum. Furthermore, the bill limits the ability of "home rule" units of government, which have broader powers to govern themselves, from enacting regulations on natural gas that contradict these new provisions, emphasizing that this is a state-level limitation on their concurrent powers.
