Amend Senate Bill 3501 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 1.
(2) The House of Representatives has resolved in House Resolution 884 of the 96th General Assembly to (i) express its support for improved night preservation practices in Illinois, (ii) encourage State agencies to adopt suitable 10300SB3501sam003 -2- LRB103 36511 BDA 71353 a outdoor lighting practices based on the principles of applying artificial light only where it is needed, when it is needed, and to only the levels needed using the best safety and energy-efficient standards available, and (iii) encourage the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center of the University of Illinois to provide artificial outdoor illumination engineering assistance to State agencies, SB3501 Enrolled - 2 - LRB103 36511 AWJ 66617 b municipalities, and businesses that seek to implement responsible outdoor lighting to conserve and preserve the important natural phenomenon of night.
10300SB3501sam003 -3- LRB103 36511 BDA 71353 a "ANSI/IES standards" means the American National Standards Institute and Illuminating Engineering Society's lighting guidelines, also known as the IES Lighting Library Standards Collection.
SB3501 Enrolled - 3 - LRB103 36511 AWJ 66617 b "Fully shielded" means a luminaire that is constructed in such a manner that all light emitted, either directly from the lamp or indirectly by reflection or refraction from any part of the luminaire, is projected below the horizontal plane aligned with the bottom of the luminaire aperture, where no part of the lamp protrudes outside of the luminaire or shield.
"Light pollution" means the scattering of artificial light into the nighttime environment caused by excessive or improperly positioned artificial outdoor lighting resulting in 10300SB3501sam003 -4- LRB103 36511 BDA 71353 a sky glow, light trespass, or glare.
"Luminaire" means a complete installed or portable illuminating device, including a lamp, together with the parts designed to distribute the light, such as a reflector or SB3501 Enrolled - 4 - LRB103 36511 AWJ 66617 b refractor, parts to position and protect the lamps, and parts to connect the lamps to a power supply.
"Reflective roadway markings" means lines and markers with reflective properties intended to promote vehicular and 10300SB3501sam003 -5- LRB103 36511 BDA 71353 a pedestrian safety.
"Responsible lighting principles" means the use of modern lighting technologies, including shielding, an upper limit on color temperature (2,700 Kelvin), on-off controls, dimming SB3501 Enrolled - 5 - LRB103 36511 AWJ 66617 b controls, and motion sensors.
All new luminaires purchased with State funds after the effective date of this Act or installed after the effective date of this Act on a structure or land that is ownedowned, andleased, or managed by the Department of Natural Resources, including roadways, facilities, properties, nonhabitable structures, monuments, and public right-of-way spaces, including sidewalks, with the intended purpose of outdoor illumination must follow the following outdoor lighting control requirements:
(1) Permanent outdoor luminaires must be fully shielded with an IES BUG rating and produce less than 1% of its emitted light above 80 degrees from the downward 10300SB3501sam003 -6- LRB103 36511 BDA 71353 a vertical direction of nadir.
SB3501 Enrolled - 6 - LRB103 36511 AWJ 66617 b (3) Luminaires must have a correlated color temperature less than or equal to 2,700 Kelvin.
Reflectorized roadway markings, lines, warning signs, informational 10300SB3501sam003 -7- LRB103 36511 BDA 71353 a signs or other passive means must be used for roadway lighting, except at intersections of 2 or more streets or highways, unless it is determined that adequate safety cannot be achieved by reflective means.
(7) No artificial lighting above one lux, as measured at ground level both horizontally and vertically, may trespass onto land or waterways designated or managed as SB3501 Enrolled - 7 - LRB103 36511 AWJ 66617 b habitat, reserve, natural area, open space, or wilderness.
(6) navigational lighting systems and other lighting 10300SB3501sam003 -8- LRB103 36511 BDA 71353 a are necessary to comply with Federal Aviation Administration airside operations or nautical safety;
Lamps emitting greater than 2,700 Kelvin under this paragraph must be positioned, angled, or shielded to prevent direct glare and light SB3501 Enrolled - 8 - LRB103 36511 AWJ 66617 b trespass onto neighboring property or properties, and the positioning, angling, or shielding must limit upward light emission to only the amount necessary to light the sporting or grounds activity;
or (11) the luminaries are temporary seasonal holiday 10300SB3501sam003 -9- LRB103 36511 BDA 71353 a lighting lasting no longer than 45 days surrounding the holiday season.
If this Act conflicts with any other federal law, State law, or local ordinance controlling lighting, outdoor luminaries, signage, outdoor advertising, displays, or devices that is more stringent than the Act, then SB3501 Enrolled - 9 - LRB103 36511 AWJ 66617 b the federal law, State law, or local ordinance controls to the extent it is more stringent than the Act.
