    Section 5. The Renewable Energy Component Recycling Task 
Force Act is amended  by changing Section 15 as follows:
 
    (20 ILCS 4118/15)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2025)

    Sec. 15. Duties and report.

    (a)     The REC Recycling Task Force shall have the following 
duties:

        (1)   Investigate options for recycling and other end of 
    life management methods for renewable energy generation 
    components and energy storage devices in accordance with 
    State and federal requirements.

        (2)   Identify preferred methods to safely and 
    responsibly manage end of life renewable energy generating 
    components and energy storage devices, including the reuse 
    or refurbishment.
        (3)  Consider the economic and environmental costs and 
    benefits associated with each method of recycling or end 
    of life management identified.
        (4)  Project the economically productive life cycle of 
    various types of renewable energy generating equipment and 
    energy storage systems currently in use or planned for 
    development in this State and model the impact that may be 
    expected to the State's landfill capacity if landfill 
    disposal is permitted for all such equipment and storage 
    systems at end of life.
        (5)  Survey federal and other states' and countries' 
    regulatory requirements relating to the end of life 
    management, decommissioning, and financial assurance 
    requirements for owners, operators, developers, and 
    manufacturers of renewable energy generation components 
    and energy storage systems.

        (6)  Identify infrastructure that may be needed to 
    develop a practical, effective, and cost-efficient means 
    to collect and transport end of life renewable generation 
    components and energy storage systems in State for reuse, 
    refurbishment, recycling, or disposal.
        (7)  Receive stakeholder engagement and feedback on 
    various recycling and end of life management proposals for 
    renewable energy generation components and energy storage 
    systems.
        (8)  Develop recommendations for legislative, 
    administrative, or private sector action to implement 
    recycling and end of life management for renewable energy 
    generation components and energy storage systems.

        (9) Consider the benefits of prohibiting a person from 
    mixing renewable energy generation components and energy 
    storage systems with municipal waste that is intended for 
    disposal at a landfill. 
        (10) Consider the benefits of prohibiting a person 
    from disposing of renewable energy generation components 
    and energy storage systems in a sanitary landfill. 
    (b)   The REC Recycling Task Force shall submit a final 
report on activities conducted pursuant to this Act with 
findings, including stakeholder input, to the General Assembly 
and the Governor's Office no later than July 1, 2025.
