15    (a) A municipality that has implemented a Residential
16Sound Insulation Program to mitigate aircraft noise shall
17perform indoor air quality monitoring and laboratory analysis
18of windows and doors installed pursuant to the Residential
19Sound Insulation Program to determine whether there are any
20adverse health impacts associated with off-gassing from such
21windows and doors. Such monitoring and analysis shall be
22consistent with applicable professional and industry
23standards. The municipality shall make any final reports
24resulting from such monitoring and analysis available to the

 

 

10200HB0106sam001- 12 -LRB102 03976 AWJ 30187 a

1public on the municipality's website. The municipality shall
2develop a science-based mitigation plan to address significant
3health-related impacts, if any, associated with such windows
4and doors as determined by the results of the monitoring and
5analysis. In a municipality that has implemented a Residential
6Sound Insulation Program to mitigate aircraft noise, if
7requested by the homeowner pursuant to a process established
8by the municipality, which process shall include, at a
9minimum, notification in a newspaper of general circulation
10and a mailer sent to every address identified as a recipient of
11windows and doors installed under the Residential Sound
12Insulation Program, the municipality shall replace all windows
13and doors installed under the Residential Sound Insulation
14Program in such homes where one or more windows or doors have
15been found to have caused offensive odors. Only those
16homeowners who request that the municipality perform an odor
17inspection as prescribed by the process established by the
18municipality within 6 months of notification being published
19and mailers being sent shall be eligible for odorous window
20and odorous door replacement. Residents who are eligible to
21receive replacement windows shall be allowed to choose the
22color and type of replacement window. For purposes of aiding
23in the selection of such replacement windows, a showcase and
24display of available replacement window types shall be

10200HB0106sam001- 13 -LRB102 03976 AWJ 30187 a

1as having odorous windows or doors are not required to make
2said request to the municipality. The right to make a claim for
3replacement and have it considered pursuant to this Section
4shall not be affected by the fact of odor-related claims made
5or odor-related products received pursuant to the Residential
6Sound Insulation Program prior to June 5, 2019 (the effective
7date of this Section). The municipality shall also perform
8in-home air quality testing in residences in which windows and

11testing from the municipality, and the total number of homes
12tested in any given year shall not exceed 25% of the total
13number of homes in which windows and doors were replaced under

23implemented the Residential Sound Insulation Program in

10200HB0106sam001- 14 -LRB102 03976 AWJ 30187 a

1determine by majority vote which homes contain windows or
2doors that cause offensive odors and thus are eligible for
3replacement, shall promulgate a list of such homes, and shall
4develop recommendations as to the order in which homes are to
5receive window replacement. The recommendations shall include
6reasonable and objective criteria for determining which
7windows or doors are odorous, consideration of the date of
8odor confirmation for prioritization, severity of odor,
9geography and individual hardship, and shall provide such
10recommendations to the municipality. The advisory committee
11shall develop a process in which homeowners can demonstrate
12extreme hardship. Extreme hardship shall be defined as: liquid
13infiltration of the window or door; health and medical
14condition of the resident; and residents with sensitivities
15related to smell. At least 10% of the homes receiving a
16replacement in a year shall be homes that have demonstrated
17extreme hardship. The advisory committee shall compile a
18report demonstrating: (i) the number of homes in line to
19receive a replacement; (ii) the number of homes that received
20replacement windows or doors, or both; (iii) the number of
21homes that received financial compensation instead of a
22replacement; and (iv) the number of homes with confirmed
23mechanical issues. Until December 31, 2022, the report shall
24be complied monthly, after December 31, 2022, the report shall

5of the committee but shall retain final decision-making
6authority over replacement of windows and doors installed

9procurement. A municipality administering claims pursuant to
10this Section shall provide to every address identified as
11having submitted a valid claim under this Section a quarterly
12report setting forth the municipality's activities undertaken
13pursuant to this Section for that quarter. However, the
14municipality shall replace windows and doors pursuant to this
15Section only if, and to the extent, distributions grants are
16distributed to, and received by, the municipality from the
17Sound-Reducing Windows and Doors Replacement Fund for the
18costs associated with the replacement of sound-reducing
19windows and doors installed under the Residential Sound
20Insulation Program pursuant to Section 6z-20.1 of the State
21Finance Act. In addition, the municipality shall revise its
22specifications for procurement of windows for the Residential
23Sound Insulation Program to address potential off-gassing from
24such windows in future phases of the program. A municipality
25subject to the Section shall not legislate or otherwise

5monitoring and laboratory analysis, and related mitigation and
6mitigation plans, in a manner inconsistent with this Section.

9Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule
10units of powers and functions exercised by the State.

7    equal at least 50% of the aggregate costs of providing
8    such public transportation in such fiscal year. However,
9    due to the fiscal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the
