Illinois SJR0039 urges Congress to establish a national infrastructure bank to fund urgently needed infrastructure projects.
Illinois SJR0039 calls for the creation of a national infrastructure bank to finance projects addressing the state's aging infrastructure, including water systems, bridges, and affordable housing. The resolution highlights the need for over 675,000 lead water service lines to be replaced, 2,405 bridges in poor condition, and at least 300,000 new affordable housing units. The bank is modeled after previous institutions that helped build the nation's infrastructure and is expected to create 25 million jobs, pay Davis-Bacon wages, and enforce Buy America provisions.
