AN ACT concerning transportation.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by changing
Section 4-221 as follows:
(605 ILCS 5/4-221)
Sec. 4-221. Mix designs. To the the extent allowed by
federal law, the Department specifications shall allow the use
of recycled asphalt roofing shingles received from facilities
authorized to process asphalt roofing shingles for recycling
into asphalt pavement in accordance with (i) permits issued
pursuant to Section 39 of the Environmental Protection Act or
(ii) beneficial use determinations issued pursuant to Section
22.54 of the Environmental Protection Act. In creating the mix
designs used for construction and maintenance of State
highways, it shall be the goal of the Department, through its
specifications, to maximize the percentage of recycled asphalt
roofing shingles and binder replacement and to maximize the use
of recycled aggregates and other lowest-cost constituents in
the mix so long as there is no detrimental impact on life-cycle
costs.
