Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB3176

Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that a municipality contained within any part of an area where a noise analysis for a Type II federal or federal-aid highway project has occurred shall implement a residential sound insulation program to mitigate interstate highway noise. Includes requirements of the program, including replacement of all windows and doors installed under the program in homes where one or more windows or doors have been found to have caused offensive odors. Provides for the creation of an advisory board to determine which homes contain windows or doors that cause offensive odors and thus are eligible for replacement, to develop recommendations as to the order in which homes are to receive window replacement, to develop a process in which homeowners can demonstrate extreme hardship, and to compile a report. Provides that a municipality shall consider the recommendations of the advisory committee but shall retain final decision-making authority over replacement of windows. Contains other provisions relating to reports by the municipality, funding for claims under the program, and indoor air quality monitoring, laboratory analysis, or replacement requirements. Limits the concurrent exercise of home rule powers. Amends the State Finance Act to make a conforming change.
