SB2210 would amend the Illinois State Police Act to require the Illinois State Police to restore the site of a former Illinois State Police building in Pontiac, Illinois, to its original condition. The bill identifies the location as 15,551 Old Route 66, Pontiac, and specifies that the building was decommissioned in 2003. The restoration must be completed within 18 months after the bill’s effective date.
The measure also assigns the cost of the restoration to the Department of Central Management Services, rather than to the Illinois State Police. In practical terms, the bill creates a new statutory duty tied to a specific state-owned or state-used property and directs a separate state agency to fund the work.
Impact
If enacted, SB2210 would add a new Section 46.1 to the Illinois State Police Act and impose a specific restoration obligation on the Illinois State Police for a single former facility site in Pontiac. It would also shift the financial responsibility for the restoration to the Department of Central Management Services, affecting state budgeting and interagency responsibilities for property remediation and site restoration.
Sentiment
Based on the available record, the bill appears to be a straightforward, narrowly tailored property-restoration measure with no recorded committee debate or votes in the provided materials. The caption and text suggest a localized, administrative purpose rather than a broad policy change, and there is no evidence here of organized opposition or support beyond the bill’s introduction.
Contention
No committee transcript or vote history was provided, so there are no documented points of contention in the available materials. Potential areas of concern, if discussed later, would likely involve the cost of restoring the site, which agency should pay, and whether the state should be required to return the property to its pre-ISP condition after decommissioning.
