MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR 207 STATE CAPITOL, SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS 62706
[January 30, 2001] 8 January 11, 2001 GEORGE H. RYAN GOVERNOR To the Honorable Members of the Illinois House of Representatives 91st General Assembly I hereby sign House Bill 2970. One of the provisions of HB2970 makes the State the sole bonding entity for aggregate mining projects that meet the existing State permitting criteria. Local governments will maintain bonding authority for those projects that do not meet the State criteria. Of the approximately 450 aggregate mining sites in the State, only about 125 are actually required to be permitted by the State. The State has a stringent bonding program that is patterned after the federal Office of Surface Mining bonding program for surface coal mines. I am confident that bonding rates imposed by the State will be adequate to ensure reclamation. Moreover, there are existing provisions within the Act that provide for input from local communities through their county boards. All permit applications must be filed with the county board and be made available for public review. Comments concerning bonding rates can be forwarded to the county board, and the county board may request a public hearing. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) will consider all comments when determining the appropriate bonding rate. To ensure that local governments have an additional mechanism for input, IDNR is committed to expanding their roles through the rule making process. IDNR will invite members of local governments, as well as industry officials, to participate in a rule making committee to help address any local concerns regarding bonding adequacy. The key thrust of the rule making will be to ensure that local governments have an opportunity to request a review and adjustment of the bond within statutory guidelines. Once this committee has developed draft rules, there will be an opportunity for all local government agencies and the general public to comment and/or request a public hearing. IDNR representatives will be available throughout this process to explain the existing bonding program and provide any technical assistance. With this clarification, I have signed House Bill 2970. Sincerely, s/GEORGE H. RYAN Governor HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTIONS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS FIRST READING Representatives Bill Mitchell - Daniels - Kosel - Mulligan - Bost introduced the following: HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 1 RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that there shall be submitted to the electors of the State for adoption or rejection at the general election next occurring at least 6 months after the adoption of this resolution a proposition to add Section 8.1 to Article IV of the Illinois Constitution as follows: ARTICLE IV THE LEGISLATURE (ILCON Art.
