CMS-BIRD SAFE STATE BUILDINGS
Summary
Amends the Department of Central Management Services Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that each State building constructed, acquired, or of which more than 50% of the façade is substantially altered shall meet specified standards concerning bird safety. Provides requirements for the Director of Central Management Services in implementing the standards. Specifies that the provisions shall not apply to any acquisition or substantial alteration if the Director, after consideration of multiple options, determines that the use of the required building materials and design features would result in a significant additional cost for the project. Exempts specified buildings from the requirements. House Floor Amendment No. 2 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill. Provides that any construction which may be required as a result of the bird-safe buildings requirements shall be under the authority of the Capital Development Board in consultation with the Department of Central Management Services. Provides that the requirements shall only apply to State buildings under the management or control of the Department, but does not include buildings leased by the Department. Provides that the requirements shall not apply to any project in the design or construction phase as of the effective date of the provisions. Removes the Lincoln Home in Springfield, Illinois, and its related buildings and grounds from the list of entities for which the bird-safe building requirements do not apply. Makes conforming changes.
