Status: Not passed
The Illinois Clean Jobs Bill is a renewable-energy bill that was introduced in the 99th Illinois General Assembly. It was sponsored by Democratic state senator Don Harmon of Oak Park and Democratic state representative Elaine Nekritz of Northbrook. The bill died in committee.[1]
Proponents of the bill claimed it would create tens of thousands of new jobs in Illinois if the bill is passed and signed into law. Some supporters claim that it would create 32,000 new jobs.[2] Bill supporters claimed that passage of the bill will cause energy demand to decrease by twenty percent by the year 2025.[3] Some proponents claimed that the bill would "enable solar and wind energy projects to flourish".[4]
However, opponents asserted that under the state of Illinois' current energy efficiency law, utility companies pass on new costs to customers.[5] If the Illinois Clean Jobs Bill passed, they claimed, households and businesses that use electricity would pay more money to subsidize the cost of wind turbines and other renewable energy sources.[5]
