Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.
(70 ILCS 3615/2.10) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 702.10) (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 104-457) Sec. 2.10. Protection of the environment. The Authority and the Service Boards shall take all feasible and prudent steps to minimize environmental disruption and pollution arising from its activities or from public transportation activities of transportation agencies acting pursuant to purchase of service agreements. In carrying out its purposes and powers under this Act, the Authority and the Service Boards shall seek to reduce environmental disruption and pollution arising from all forms of transportation of persons within the metropolitan region. The Service Boards shall employ persons with skills and responsibilities for determining means to minimize such disruption and pollution.(Source: P.A. 83-886.) (Text of Section after amendment by P.A. 104-457) Sec. 2.10. Protection of the environment. (a) The Authority shall take all feasible and prudent steps to minimize environmental disruption and pollution arising from its activities and from public transportation activities of Transportation Agencies acting under purchase of service or grant agreements. In carrying out its purposes and powers under this Act, the Authority shall seek to reduce environmental disruption and pollution arising from all forms of transportation of persons within the metropolitan region. The Authority shall employ persons with skills and responsibilities for determining how to minimize such disruption and pollution. (b) In recognition of the fact that the transportation sector accounts for approximately one-third of the greenhouse gases generated in the State and that public transportation moves people with fewer emissions than other motorized modes of transportation, the Authority shall work cooperatively with the Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Toll Highway, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, and other units of government in the region to assist them in using investments in public transportation facilities and operations as a tool to help them meet their greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. To the maximum extent allowed by law, the Authority is eligible to receive funding and other assistance from local, state, and federal sources so the Authority can assist in using improved and expanded public transportation in the metropolitan region to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution generated by the transportation sector.(Source: P.A. 104-457, eff. 6-1-26.) |
