IL HB3722

Municipalities with Residential Sound Insulation Programs must conduct indoor air quality monitoring and laboratory analysis of installed windows and doors to determine adverse health impacts from off-gassing, with final reports made publicly available.

Municipalities must replace all windows and doors in homes where units have caused offensive odors upon homeowner request through an established process including newspaper notification and direct mailers, with at least 750 residences replaced annually subject to appropriation.

An advisory committee composed of affected homeowners, municipal employees, Department of Transportation staff, and legislative appointees shall determine which homes qualify for replacement, develop prioritization criteria, and compile monthly reports (monthly until December 31, 2022, then quarterly).

Eligible homeowners can select replacement window colors and types, with a showcase display established at Chicago Midway International Airport; homeowners with extreme hardship (liquid infiltration, medical conditions, or smell sensitivities) must comprise at least 10% of annual replacements.

Window and door replacement is contingent on grants received from the Sound-Reducing Windows and Doors Replacement Fund; municipalities must revise procurement specifications to address off-gassing in future program phases.
