Governor Quinn Signs Bills to Increase
Solar Energy Use in Illinois
 
Increased Solar Energy Use Reduces Dependence on
Traditional Energy Sources
 
CHICAGO – August 17, 2010. Governor Pat Quinn today signed legislation that promotes energy independence by furthering the use of solar power by individuals and by industry. The new laws establish strengthened targets for utilities that will be purchasing more solar energy and help homeowners who want to increase their solar energy usage.  
 
“Solar energy is the wave of the future, and it is important that our public utilities and homeowners are able to more easily increase their use of solar energy,” said Governor Quinn. “We must do everything we can to increase our use of solar energy, which will help us protect natural resources and reduce our reliance on traditional energy sources, such as foreign oil.” 
 
House Bill 6202, sponsored by Rep. William Burns (D-Chicago) and Sen. Don Harmon (D-Oak Park), amends both the Illinois Power Agency Act and the Public Utilities Act to change the date by which Commonwealth Edison and Ameren must begin purchasing solar energy as part of the renewable energy portfolio requirement. The new law changes the date to 2012, which is three years earlier than the previous 2015 deadline. 
 
Specifically, the power industry will now be required to purchase .5 percent of its power from solar sources by June 1, 2012; 1.5 percent by June 1, 2013; 3 percent by June 1, 2014; and 6 percent by June 1, 2015, and each year thereafter.
 
House Bill 5429, sponsored by Rep. Sara Feigenholtz (D-Chicago) and Sen. Michael Noland (D-Elgin), creates the Homeowners’ Solar Energy Act to ensure the right of individual homeowners to construct solar energy panels on their homes, provided the individual homeowners follow certain guidelines. Under the new law, homeowner’s associations cannot prohibit homeowners from installing solar panels on their property.
 
Governor Quinn signed both pieces of legislation at the University of Illinois at Chicago. House Bill 6202 takes effect immediately and House Bill 5429 will take effect Jan. 1, 2011.
 
Solar power uses the energy from sunlight to generate electricity. Solar energy can be used in smaller, residential settings, and in recent years, multi-megawatt plants have been built.

Planning Your Wedding?

 

If you are considering entering into the Sacrament of Marriage, we urge you to please make contact with a member of the pastoral team to discuss your marriage plans.  If you wish more information regarding the pastoral policies and sacramental preparation program of the Evangelical Catholic Church, please visit our web at http://www.evangelicalcatholicchurch.org/marriage.htm   For those who have been divorced, please visit http://www.evangelicalcatholicchurch.org/remarriage.htm

 

 


Mass Intentions

Holy Family has envelopes available for making arrangements for Mass Intentions.  If you wish to have a Mass celebrated for the intention of someone, please fill out the envelope and place it either in the collection plate or give it to Bishop.  The suggested donation for Masses is ten dollars.  If that amount is difficult to arrange, any donation for the Mass Intention would be gratefully accepted.

Sacramental Preparations

For those wishing to enter into the Sacrament of Marriage, our preparation program requires couples and their pastor to arrange for six one-hour meetings to prepare for the Sacrament.  So it is important for couples to speak with the parish before any formal announcement of a date is made.  Also, keep in mind if an application for a Dissolution of Marriage needs to be made, give yourself enough time to gather all of the documents needed for this.

For those planning for the Sacrament of Baptism, please know that the family and their pastor will need to arrange for two meetings prior to the celebration.  Also, your pastor will need to speak with those chosen to be godparents.

If you have any questions, always feel free to call the parish.


FYI:  Please review our  Recommended Donations/Stipends for Celebration of Sacraments
