    ICCTA Government Relations and Public Policy Report by Jessica Nardulli, ICCTA Legislative Counsel January 25, 2021

    ICCTA Government Relations and Public Policy Report By Jessica Nardulli, ICCTA Legislative Counsel January 25, 2021 New Leadership in the Illinois House State Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch, the new speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, has promised to make some changes to the way the Speaker’s office operates. For one, Welch is adept at using social media and has committed to modernizing the office. He has also committed to ethics reforms and supports a law limiting leader terms to 10 years. One of the biggest areas for change is the upcoming legislative and congressional district reapportionment. Under former Speaker Michael Madigan, the process was partisan and handled behind closed doors. Governor JB Pritzker has promised not to sign an “unfair” map. Welch has been a supporter of “fair” maps in the past but acknowledged that his version of “fair” might not be the same as others. Welch’s first order of business is to announce the rules of the Illinois House. Welch has made it clear he wants more of a collaborative approach by conferring with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle. He also promised a leadership team that will show the state’s diversity of gender, race, and geography. Welch’s leadership team includes: • State Rep. Greg Harris - Majority Leader • State Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth - Deputy Majority Leader / Speaker Pro-Tempore • State Rep. Mary E. Flowers - Deputy Majority Leader and Dean of the Caucus • State Rep. Jaime M. Andrade, Jr. - Assistant Majority Leader • State Rep. Robyn Gabel - Assistant Majority Leader • State Rep. Elizabeth Hernandez - Assistant Majority Leader • State Rep.

    SENATE ENERGY WORKING GROUP SENATOR MICHAEL E. HASTINGS, CHAIRMAN May 8, 2020 Ms. Carrie Zalewski Chairperson, Illinois Commerce Commission Michael A. Bilandic Building 160 North LaSalle Street, Suite C-800 Chicago, Illinois 60016 Dear Madam Chairperson: The Illinois Senate Energy Working Group is charged with reviewing existing statutes as well as proposed legislation related to energy generation and support of energy infrastructure in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our working group has discussed legislation filed in the 101st General Assembly and has determined that consumer assistance to residential, business and industrial customers post-moratorium is of the utmost importance. Understanding that residents of the state of Illinois will endure financial hardship following this pandemic, we ask that the Commission give strong consideration to the following topic areas before your administrative body. Grace Period for Shut Offs In a post-moratorium environment, there will be residential, business and industrial customers who will be unable to pay the balance on their bills. Understanding that there is a protocol for customer shut off, the Illinois Senate Energy Working Group recommends a grace period of at least an additional sixty (60) days post-moratorium before a utility provider can consider shutting off a customer’s utility. Deferred Payment Arrangements Today, utility companies engage in negotiations with their customers on Deferred Payment Arrangements (DPAs). Understanding that there is not a consistent policy for DPA for all utility providers, the Illinois Senate Energy Working Group recommends at least a fixed twelve (12) month period for all DPAs. In the event of a certified financial hardship, a timeframe of at least eighteen (18) to twenty-four (24) months should be granted.
