Current through Public Act 103-1052
Section 20 ILCS 20/5 - Legislative Findings; PurposeThe State government is one of the largest consumers of energy in the State. As a result, the General Assembly finds that:
(1) a 10% reduction in energy use by all State agencies would result in a decreased demand on the citizens of the State; (2) the use of energy for electricity, heating, and cooling of State buildings and transportation in State vehicles has a significant impact on public health and the environment; and (3) State agencies should set a strong example in energy efficiency, water conservation, recycling, and waste reduction to demonstrate cost-effective solutions to citizens, businesses, and other government jurisdictions.Added by P.A. 095-0559,§ 5, eff. 6/1/2008.
