Section 10. The Response Action Contractor Indemnification |
Act is amended by changing Section 5 and adding Section 8 as |
follows:
|
(415 ILCS 100/5) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 7205)
|
Sec. 5. Response Contractors Indemnification Fund.
|
(a) There is hereby created the Response Contractors |
Indemnification Fund.
The State Treasurer, ex officio, shall be |
custodian of the Fund, and the
Comptroller shall direct |
payments from the Fund upon vouchers properly
certified by the |
Attorney General in accordance with Section 4. The Treasurer
|
shall credit interest on the Fund to the Fund.
|
(b) Every State response action contract shall provide that |
5% of each
payment to be made by the State under the contract |
shall be paid by the
State directly into the Response |
Contractors Indemnification Fund rather
than to the |
contractor, except that when there is at least $100,000 in the |
|
Fund
at the beginning of a State fiscal year, State
response |
action contracts
during that fiscal year need not provide that |
5% of each payment made
under the contract be paid into the |
Fund. When only a portion of a contract
relates to a remedial |
or response action, or to the identification, handling,
|
storage, treatment or disposal of a pollutant, the contract |
shall provide that
only that portion is subject to this |
subsection.
|
(c) Within 30 days after the effective date of this |
amendatory Act of 1997,
the Comptroller shall order transferred |

2001, 2002, and 2003.
|
(d) Within 30 days after the effective date of this |
amendatory Act of

Sec. 8. Repealer. This Act is repealed on the 31st day |
after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th |
General Assembly.
|
Section 15. The Alternate Fuels Act is amended by changing |
Section 30 as follows:
|
(415 ILCS 120/30)
|
Sec. 30. Rebate program. Beginning January 1, 1997, and as |
long as funds
are available, each owner of an
alternate fuel
|
vehicle shall be eligible to apply for a rebate.
Beginning July |
1, 2005, each owner of a vehicle using domestic renewable fuel
|
is eligible to apply for a fuel cost differential rebate under |
subsection (c)
of this Section.
The Agency
shall cause rebates |
to be
issued under the provisions of this Act. An owner may
|
apply for only one of 3 types of rebates with
regard to an |
|
individual alternate fuel vehicle: (i) a
conversion cost |
rebate, (ii) an OEM differential cost rebate, or
(iii) a fuel |
cost differential rebate. Only one rebate may be
issued with |
regard to a particular alternate fuel vehicle during
the life |
of that vehicle. A rebate shall not exceed $4,000 per
vehicle. |
Over the life of this rebate program, an owner of an
alternate |
fuel vehicle or a vehicle using domestic renewable fuel may not
|
receive rebates for more than 150
vehicles per location or for |
300 vehicles in total.
|
(a) A conversion cost rebate may be issued to an
owner or |
his or her designee in order to reduce the cost of
converting |
of a conventional vehicle to an alternate fuel
vehicle. |
Conversion of a conventional vehicle to alternate fuel
|
capability must take place in Illinois for the owner to be
|
eligible for the conversion cost rebate. Amounts spent by
|
applicants within a calendar year may be claimed on a rebate
|
application submitted within 12 months after the month in which |
the conversion of the vehicle took place during that calendar |
year. Approved
conversion cost rebates applied for during or |
after calendar year 1997 shall be 80% of all
approved |
conversion
costs claimed and documented. Approval of |
conversion cost rebates may
continue after calendar year 2002, |
if funds are still available. An
applicant
may include on an
|
application submitted in 1997 all amounts spent within that
|
calendar year on the conversion, even if the expenditure
|
occurred before promulgation of the Agency rules.
|
|
(b) An OEM differential cost rebate may be issued to
an |
owner or his or her designee in order to reduce the cost
|
differential between a conventional vehicle or engine and the
|
same vehicle or engine, produced by an original equipment
|
manufacturer, that has the capability to use alternate fuels.
|
A new OEM vehicle or engine must be purchased in Illinois
|
and must either be an alternate fuel vehicle or used in an
|
alternate fuel vehicle, respectively, for the owner to be
|
eligible for an OEM differential cost rebate. Large vehicles, |
over 8,500 pounds gross vehicle weight, purchased outside |
Illinois are eligible for an OEM differential cost rebate if |
the same or a comparable vehicle is not available for purchase |
in Illinois. Amounts spent by
applicants within a calendar year |
may be claimed on a rebate
application submitted within 12 |
months after the month in which the new OEM vehicle or engine |
was purchased during that calendar year.
|
Approved OEM differential cost rebates applied for during
|
or after calendar year 1997 shall be 80% of all
approved cost |
differential claimed and documented. Approval of OEM
|
differential cost rebates may continue after calendar year |
2002, if funds are
still
available. An applicant
may include on |
an application submitted in 1997 all amounts
spent within that |
calendar year on OEM equipment, even if the
expenditure |
occurred before promulgation of the Agency rules.
|
(c) A fuel cost differential rebate may be issued to
an |
owner or his or her designee in order to reduce the cost
|
|
differential between conventional fuels and domestic renewable
|
fuels or alternate fuels purchased to operate an alternate fuel |
vehicle
. The fuel cost differential shall be
based on a 3-year |
life cycle cost analysis developed by the
Agency by rulemaking. |
The rebate shall apply to and be
payable during a consecutive |
3-year period commencing on the
date the application is |
approved by the Agency. Approved
fuel cost differential rebates |
may be applied for during or after calendar
year 1997 and |
approved
rebates shall be
80% of the cost differential for a |
consecutive 3-year period.
Approval of fuel cost differential |
rebates may continue after calendar year
2002 if funds are |
still available.
|
Twenty-five percent of the amount
that is appropriated |
under Section 40 to be used to fund programs
authorized by this |
Section during calendar year 2001 shall be
designated to fund |
fuel cost differential rebates. If the total
dollar amount of |
approved fuel cost differential rebate
applications as of July |
1, 2001 is less than the amount
designated for that calendar |
year, the balance of designated
funds shall be immediately |
available to fund any rebate
authorized by this Section and |
approved in the calendar year.
|
An approved fuel cost differential rebate shall be paid to |
an owner
in 3 annual installments on or about the anniversary |
date of the
approval of the application. Owners receiving a |
fuel cost
differential rebate shall be required to demonstrate, |
through
recordkeeping, the use of domestic renewable fuels |
|
during the
3-year period commencing on the date the application |
is approved
by the Agency. If the vehicle ceases to be
|
registered to the original applicant owner, a prorated
|
installment shall be paid to that owner or the owner's designee
|
and the remainder of the rebate shall be canceled.
|
(d) Vehicles owned by the federal government or
vehicles |
registered in a state outside Illinois are not eligible
for |
rebates.
