| 3 | | on page 5, immediately below line 4, by inserting the | 4 | | following: | 5 | | "(10) Pursuant to Public Act 102-662, the General | 6 | | Assembly has determined that to provide the highest | 7 | | quality of life for the residents of Illinois and to | 8 | | provide for a clean and healthy environment, it is the | 9 | | policy of this State to rapidly transition to 100% clean | 10 | | energy by 2050. Reducing carbon dioxide and copollutant | 11 | | emissions in a manner that does not threaten electric | 12 | | reliability and resource adequacy is essential to the | 13 | | health and safety of all Illinois citizens. Coal-fueled | 14 | | generation located in Illinois, and particularly in the | 15 | | downstate region, has recently been retired or will be | 16 | | retired by no later than the end of 2027. Natural | 17 | | gas-fueled generation located in Illinois is currently |

The health, welfare, and prosperity of | 6 | | Illinois citizens, including the attractiveness of | 7 | | Illinois to business and industry, requires the | 8 | | availability of sufficient electric generating capacity, | 9 | | including energy storage capacity, to meet the demands of | 10 | | consumers and businesses in this State at all times."; and | 11 | | on page 5, by replacing lines 7 through 19 with the following: | 12 | | "(a) The Illinois Regional Generation Reliability Task | 13 | | Force is created.

The Task Force should | 21 | | consider the impacts of climate change on Illinois residents | 22 | | and the present and future needs of Illinois consumers while | 23 | | simultaneously investigating, and recommending solutions for, | 24 | | any issues related to the performance and reliability of power | 25 | | generation and transmission and being mindful of the ultimate |
