To Modernize Our Natural Gas Distribution System, Illinois Needs a Legislative Solution – Vote YES on the 2013 Natural Gas Consumer, Safety and Reliability Act (SB 2266, HAM #3)
Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The 2013 Natural Gas Consumer, Safety and Reliability Act (Senate Bill 2266, HAM #3) passed yesterday by 84-32 in the Illinois House and now awaits the Senate’s vote. If enacted into law, this legislation will bring the Illinois regulatory system into the 21st century. This bill will provide a cost-recovery mechanism that will allow for gas utilities to recoup investments made to upgrade and improve Illinois’ natural gas distribution system. These improvements and enhancements will make natural gas delivery safer, quicker and more reliable. This will benefit Illinois consumers and improve our state’s economy. It will be better for the environment, and it will create jobs. With natural gas prices at near historic lows, we need to focus on replacing these outdated mains and modernizing our aging gas infrastructure. Illinois’ natural gas utilities need a legislative solution to have the continued confidence to invest and provide customers with the safe and reliable service they expect.
