HB5824 - 6 - LRB103 40257 RTM 72235 b
States Jobs Plan commitments. The terms of the final
contract as well as all compliance reporting shall be made
available to the public online.
(c) This Section does not apply to a contract awarded
based on a solicitation issued before January 1, 2026.
Section 100. The Public Utilities Act is amended by adding
Sections 8-106 and 8-107 as follows:
(220 ILCS 5/8-106 new)
Sec. 8-106. Make-ready tariff.
(a) The purpose of this Section is to change the
Commission's practice of authorizing the electrical
distribution infrastructure located on the utility side of the
customer meter needed to charge electric vehicles on a
case-by-case basis to a practice of considering that
infrastructure and associated design, engineering, and
construction work as core utility business, treated the same
as other necessary distribution infrastructure authorized on
an ongoing basis in the electric utility's multi-year rate
plans. The Commission shall continue to require each electric
utility to provide an accurate and full accounting of all
expenses related to electrical distribution infrastructure as
it relates to this Section, and apply appropriate penalties to
the extent an electric utility is not accurately tracking all
expenses.

HB5824 - 7 - LRB103 40257 RTM 72235 b
(b) For purposes of this Section, "electrical distribution
infrastructure" includes poles, vaults, service drops,
transformers, mounting pads, trenching, conduit, wire, cable,
meters, other equipment as necessary, and associated
engineering and civil construction work.
(c) Not later than the next multi-year rate case, each
electric utility shall propose a new tariff or rule that
authorizes each electric utility to design and deploy all
electrical distribution infrastructure on the utility side of
the customer's meter for all customers installing separate or
sub-metered infrastructure to support charging stations, other
than those in single-family residences. Each electric utility
shall recover its revenue requirement for this work through
periodic multi-year rate plan proceedings. In those
proceedings, the costs shall be treated like those costs
incurred for other necessary distribution infrastructure. The
new tariff shall replace the line extension rules currently
used for electric vehicle infrastructure as of the effective
date of the new tariff or rule and any customer allowances
established shall be based on the full useful life of the
electrical distribution infrastructure. The Commission may
revise the policy described in subsection (a) and this
subsection after the completion of the multi-year rate plan of
the electric utility following the one during which the
proposal was filed if a determination is made that a change in
the policy is necessary to ensure just and reasonable rates

HB5824 - 8 - LRB103 40257 RTM 72235 b
for ratepayers. Moreover, electric utilities and combination
gas and electric utilities shall take reasonable efforts to
ensure that any infrastructure built pursuant this Section is
efficiently sized and operated. Such efforts include, but are
not necessarily limited to, considering customers' reasonably
foreseeable load management activities and deployments of
distributed energy resources.
(220 ILCS 5/8-107 new)
Sec. 8-107. Inclusive utility investment.
(a) The purpose of this Section is for the Commission to
require electric utilities to explore a new and complementary
mechanism for investments by the electric utility in the
electrical distribution infrastructure and equipment located
on the customer side of the meter that may be needed to charge
electric vehicles. Electrical distribution infrastructure that
may be needed on the customer side of the meter includes
wiring, panels, breaker panels, conduit up to the charger
itself and the electric vehicle charger. The new mechanism is
an inclusive utility investment with a site-specific recovery
mechanism described in subsection (b). The Commission shall
require each electric utility to explore this mechanism as an
option to complement other incentives offered (such as charger
rebates).
(b) Inclusive utility investment is seen by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency as a promising approach

HB5824 - 9 - LRB103 40257 RTM 72235 b
to expanding access to cost-effective more comprehensive
efficiency and electrification upgrades for all utility
customers. Inclusive utility investment allows for
site-specific investments by the electric utility in
electrification measures on the customer side of the meter
with site-specific cost recovery through a fixed charge on the
utility bill of the customer at the metered location. The
fixed charge must be no more than the expected energy cost
savings resulting from a customer switching from an internal
combustion engine vehicle with associated fuel costs to an
electric vehicle with associated electric charging costs on an
annual basis, and the cost recovery term must be limited to no
more than the useful life of the charging equipment. The fixed
charge shall be calculated taking into account equipment,
installation, and administrative costs, and all available
rebates and incentives should be applied to reduce total
project costs.
(c) No later than December 1, 2024, each electric utility
shall file an advice letter and not later than June 1, 2025,
the Commission shall start a process to explore the
implementation of inclusive utility investments for investing
in the electrical distribution infrastructure on the customer
side of the meter, including electric vehicle chargers. For
this process, the Commission shall request each electric
utility to present a proposal with the estimation of the
investments needed. This estimation shall include the costs

HB5824 - 10 - LRB103 40257 RTM 72235 b
and energy savings of all the customer-side electric vehicle
infrastructure and chargers at the customer's residence. The
proposal shall also include the calculation of the tariff
required for a cost recovery period equivalent to the warranty
of the charger and based on the description of inclusive
utility investment in subsection (b). The Commission shall
review the proposal as inclusive utility investments and
approve the charge proposed as a tariff in the customer's bill
ensuring customer protections.
Section 105. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
