Introduced·2/6/26
Introduced Text

Illinois SB3979 mandates a Regulatory Takings Assessment for decarbonization plans to prevent economic deprivation of property owners and utilities.

Illinois SB3979 amends the Public Utilities Act to require a Regulatory Takings Assessment for all decarbonization pilots, pathways, or infrastructure plans under a Future of Gas proceeding. Conducted by an independent third party and confirmed by stakeholders, the assessment evaluates whether proposed mandates, such as full electrification or renewable natural gas adoption, deprive property owners, public utilities, or customers of the economic use of existing gas infrastructure or appliances without just compensation.
