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.
(220 ILCS 81/4-20) Sec. 4-20. Use of other broadband funds. The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the Office of Broadband, or any other State agency, board, office, or commission appropriated funding to provide grants for broadband deployment, broadband expansion, broadband access, broadband affordability, and broadband improvement projects must establish program eligibility and selection criteria by administrative rules. The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, when evaluating grant applications for the deployment of broadband network, must consider the expediency with which a project can be completed and broadband Internet access service delivered. Projects for which the Department awards grants to deploy broadband service in unserved areas or underserved areas shall include, as a project expense, costs necessarily incurred for the acquisition of any license, easement, right-of-way, or other property interest, or for the use of or for access to public utility (as defined in Section 3-105 of the Public Utilities Act) owned or State or local government owned infrastructure or assets for such project that are used directly in the provision of broadband service to locations in such unserved or underserved areas.
