    AN ACT concerning local government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois
is amended by adding Section 605-1115 as follows:
 
    (20 ILCS 605/605-1115 new)
    Sec. 605-1115. Task Force on Interjurisdictional
Industrial Zoning Impacts.
    (a) The General Assembly finds that industrial
developments typically have regional impacts, both positive
and negative. Those impacts extend beyond the zoning authority
of the unit of local government where the development is
located. Units of local government may experience impacts on
public health, public safety, the environment, traffic,
property values, population, and other considerations as a
result of industrial development occurring outside of the
their zoning jurisdiction, including areas adjacent to their
borders.
    (b) The Task Force on Interjurisdictional Industrial
Zoning Impacts is created within the Department of Commerce
and Economic Opportunity. The Task Force shall examine the
following:
        (1) current State and local zoning laws and policies
    related to large industrial developments;
        (2) current State and local laws and policies related
    to annexation;
        (3) State and local zoning and annexation laws and
    policies outside of Illinois;
        (4) the potential impacts of large industrial
    developments on neighboring units of local government,
    including how those developments may affect residential
    communities;
        (5) trends in industrial zoning across urban,
    suburban, and rural regions of Illinois;
        (6) available methodologies to determine the impact of
    large industrial developments; and
        (7) outcomes in recent zoning proceedings for large
    industrial developments or attempts to develop properties
    for large industrial purposes, including the recent
    attempt to convert a 101 acre campus in Lake County near
    Deerfield.
    (c) The Task Force on Interjurisdictional Industrial
Zoning Impacts shall consist of the following members:
        (1) the Director of Commerce and Economic Opportunity
    or his or her designee;
        (2) one member, appointed by the President of the
    Senate, representing a statewide organization of
    municipalities described in Section 1-8-1 of the Illinois
    Municipal Code;
        (3) one member, appointed by the President of the
    Senate, representing a regional association of
    municipalities and mayors;
        (4) one member, appointed by the President of the
    Senate, representing a regional association that
    represents the commercial real estate industry;
        (5) one member, appointed by the Speaker of the House
    of Representatives, representing a statewide association
    representing counties;
        (6) one member, appointed by the Speaker of the House
    of Representatives, representing a regional association of
    municipalities and mayors;
        (7) one member, appointed by the Minority Leader of
    the Senate, representing a statewide professional economic
    development association;
        (8) one member, appointed by the Minority Leader of
    the House of Representatives, representing a statewide
    association of park districts;
        (9) one member representing a statewide labor
    organization, appointed by the Governor;
        (10) one member representing the Office of the
    Governor, appointed by the Governor;
        (11) one member of the Senate, appointed by the
    President of the Senate;
        (12) one member of the Senate, appointed by the
    Minority Leader of the Senate;
        (13) one member of the House of Representatives,
    appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives;
        (14) one member of the House of Representatives,
    appointed by the Minority Leader of the House of
    Representatives; and
        (15) one member representing a statewide manufacturing
    association, appointed by the Governor.
    (d) The members of the Task Force shall serve without
compensation. The Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity shall provide administrative support to the Task
Force.
    (e) The Task Force shall meet at least once every 2 months.
Upon the first meeting of the Task Force, the members of the
Task Force shall elect a chairperson of the Task Force.
    (f) The Task Force shall prepare a report on its findings
concerning zoning for large industrial development and
associated interjurisdictional impacts, including any
recommendations. The report shall be submitted to the Governor
and the General Assembly no later than December 31, 2025.
    (g) This Section is repealed June 1, 2026.
 
    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.
