Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Requires the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to administer the Downtown Development and Improvement Fund for a revolving loan and grant program for business owners developing and improving commercial or residential property in the downtown area of a municipality. Authorizes the Department to establish guidelines for eligibility for the loans and grants and establishes maximum amounts and terms. Amends the State Finance Act to create the Downtown Development and Improvement Fund. Effective January 1, 2005.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Defines "downtown". Provides that the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity may (rather than shall) administer the Downtown Development and Improvement Fund. Provides that revolving loans and grants made from the fund may be made to municipalities (rather than business owners). Authorizes the Department to adopt any rules necessary to implement and operate this program.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Defines "downtown" to mean the traditional center business district of a municipality that (i) has served as the center for socio-economic interaction in the municipality, (ii) is characterized by a cohesive core of commercial and mixed use buildings that may be interspersed with civic, religious, and residential buildings and public spaces, and (iii) that is typically arranged along a main street and intersecting side streets and served by public infrastructure (now, "downtown" is defined to mean an area of a municipality that is is now or was once a central business district of the municipality).
