Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The bill amends the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act to let utility‑scale brownfield photovoltaic projects over 5,000 kW and other utility‑scale solar projects be designated as High Impact Businesses, making them eligible for enterprise‑zone incentives. It also updates the Illinois Power Agency Act to define a "brownfield site photovoltaic project" as one where at least half the acreage is on land covered by EPA or Illinois environmental programs. The changes aim to spur clean‑energy development on previously contaminated sites within designated zones.
