Last time we updated, this bill had passed the House and was
headed for the Senate Energy Committee. It has since passed out of committee,
and was slated for a third reading on May 15. No word, yet, on progress since
then.
We should also note that we got the HB number wrong on the
last go round—it should be HB 2753, not 2758. 2758 is a school meal program
update. While interesting, it’s not exactly in the province of Illinois Water.
Sorry about that.
This measure passed both Houses on May 16. We’ll update on
DuPage and Peoria Counties’ stormwater plans as we hear more.
This measure is still sitting in the Rules Committee,
although some new co-sponsors signed on in May.
Amendment 1—which added requirements regarding well crew
staff members—was defeated on May 1. According to various news
sources, this measure will be up for a vote again, soon.
This measure is still sitting
in the Rules Committee as of 22 March 2013
This measure was referred to the Assignments Committee as of 30 April
2013, and there it sits.
This measure was passed in both Houses on 16 May 2013
And here’s another important one we missed:
Summary: Amends the Illinois
Municipal Code. Provides that the corporate authorities of cities and villages
must also maintain storm sewers, detention basins, and retention basins for
drainage purposes.
Status: Passed both Houses as of 16 May 2013.
