AI Summary
- State buildings that are newly constructed, acquired, or have more than 50% of their façade substantially altered must meet bird-safety standards for glass and building materials
- At least 90% of exposed façade material from ground level to 40 feet must either be non-glass or use bird-safe glass treatments (UV patterns, frosted glass, screens, or patterns with horizontal spaces under 2 inches and vertical spaces under 4 inches)
- At least 60% of exposed façade material above 40 feet must meet the same bird-safe standards, and buildings cannot have transparent passageways or corners
- The Director of Central Management Services must monitor bird mortality at State buildings and reduce exterior lighting where practicable, using automatic control technologies like timers and motion detectors
- Exemptions apply to historic buildings, the Executive Mansion, Illinois Supreme Court Building, State Capitol, Old State Capitol, Lincoln Home, and Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, as well as projects where bird-safe materials would cause significant additional cost
