AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 1226
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 1226, AS AMENDED,
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the
following:
"Section 5. The Energy Efficient Building Act is amended by
changing Sections 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, and 45 as
follows:
(20 ILCS 3125/1)
Sec. 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Energy
Efficient Building and Green Construction Act.
(Source: P.A. 96-778, eff. 8-28-09.)
(20 ILCS 3125/5)
Sec. 5. Findings.
(a) The legislature finds that an effective energy
efficient building and green construction code is essential to:

10000SB1226ham003 - 2 - LRB100 00362 HLH 43575 a
(1) reduce the air pollutant emissions from energy
consumption that are affecting the health of residents of
this State;
(2) moderate future peak electric power demand;
(3) assure the reliability of the electrical grid and
an adequate supply of heating oil and natural gas; and
(4) control energy costs for residents and businesses
in this State; .
(5) ensure clean water, reduced flooding, and enhanced
water supplies;
(6) provide for mitigation and adaptation to the
impacts of climate change;
(7) benefit both wildlife habitat and community
health; and
(8) create green jobs and cost savings.
(b) The legislature further finds that this State has a
number of different climate types, all of which require energy
for both cooling and heating, and that there are many
cost-effective measures that can reduce peak energy use and
reduce cooling, heating, lighting, and other energy costs in
buildings.

Conservation Code, provided that the energy use of the building
is not increased: (i) storm windows installed over existing
fenestration, (ii) glass-only replacements in an existing sash

not required to adopt, enforce, or administer the Green Code;
however, any energy efficient building or green construction
standards adopted by a unit of local government must comply
with this Act. If a unit of local government does not regulate
energy efficient building or green construction standards, any
construction, renovation, or addition to buildings or
structures is subject to the provisions contained in this Act.

10000SB1226ham003 - 10 - LRB100 00362 HLH 43575 a
(a) No unit of local government, including any home rule
unit, may regulate energy efficient building or green
construction standards for commercial buildings in a manner
that is less stringent than the provisions contained in this
Act.
(b) No unit of local government, including any home rule
unit, may regulate energy efficient building standards for
residential buildings in a manner that is either less or more
stringent than the standards established pursuant to this Act;
provided, however, that the following entities may regulate
energy efficient building standards for residential buildings
in a manner that is more stringent than the provisions
contained in this Act: (i) a unit of local government,
including a home rule unit, that has, on or before May 15,
2009, adopted or incorporated by reference energy efficient
building standards for residential buildings that are
equivalent to or more stringent than the 2006 International
Energy Conservation Code, (ii) a unit of local government,
including a home rule unit, that has, on or before May 15,
2009, provided to the Capital Development Board, as required by
Section 10.18 of the Capital Development Board Act, an
identification of an energy efficient building code or
amendment that is equivalent to or more stringent than the 2006
International Energy Conservation Code, and (iii) a
municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or more.
(c) No unit of local government, including any home rule

10000SB1226ham003 - 11 - LRB100 00362 HLH 43575 a
unit or unit of local government that is subject to State
regulation under the Green Code as provided in Section 15 of
this Act, may hereafter enact any annexation ordinance or
resolution, or require or enter into any annexation agreement,
that imposes energy efficient building or green construction
standards for residential buildings that are either less or
more stringent than the energy efficiency or green construction
standards in effect, at the time of construction, throughout
the unit of local government.
(d) This Section is a denial and limitation of home rule
powers and functions under subsection (i) of Section 6 of
Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent
exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised
by the State. Nothing in this Section, however, prevents a unit
of local government from adopting an energy efficiency or green
construction code or standards for commercial buildings that
are more stringent than the Green Code under this Act.
