Illinois Statutes Chapter 220. Utilities § 5/9-210.6. Continuation of Section 9-210.5 of this Act; validation

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

§ 9-210.6. Continuation of Section 9-210.5 of this Act; validation.

(a) The General Assembly finds and declares that:

(1) Public Act 100-751, which took effect on August 10, 2018, contained provisions that would have changed the repeal date for Section 9-210.5 of this Act from June 1, 2018 to June 1, 2028.

(2) The Statute on Statutes sets forth general rules on the repeal of statutes and the construction of multiple amendments, but Section 1 of that Act also states that these rules will not be observed when the result would be “inconsistent with the manifest intent of the General Assembly or repugnant to the context of the statute”.

(3) This amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly manifests the intention of the General Assembly to extend the repeal date for Section 9-210.5 of this Act and have Section 9-210.5 of this Act, as amended by Public Act 100-751, continue in effect until June 1, 2028.

(b) Any construction of this Act that results in the repeal of Section 9-210.5 of this Act on June 1, 2018 would be inconsistent with the manifest intent of the General Assembly and repugnant to the context of this Act.

(c) It is hereby declared to have been the intent of the General Assembly that Section 9-210.5 of this Act shall not be subject to repeal on June 1, 2018.

(d) Section 9-210.5 of this Act shall be deemed to have been in continuous effect since August 9, 2013 (the effective date of Public Act 98-213), and it shall continue to be in effect, as amended by Public Act 100-751, until it is otherwise lawfully amended or repealed. All previously enacted amendments to the Section taking effect on or after August 9, 2013, are hereby validated.

(e) In order to ensure the continuing effectiveness of Section 9-210.5 of this Act, that Section is set forth in full and reenacted by this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. In this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, the base text of the reenacted Section is set forth as amended by Public Act 100-751.

(f) All actions of the Commission or any other person or entity taken in reliance on or pursuant to Section 9-210.5 are hereby validated.

(g) Section 9-210.5 of this Act applies to all proceedings pending on or filed on or before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.
