Renee Cipriano, a partner in Schiff Hardin's Environmental Group, will speak at the "SB 1906: Financing Renewable Energy Projects in Illinois" TeleBriefing sponsored by Law Seminars International.
Program Summary
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn recently signed SB 1906, which allows the Illinois Finance Authority (IFA) to issue bonds to finance more clean coal and renewable energy projects. It also increases IFA's bonding authority to $3 billion. The law will take effect on January 1, 2010.
This program will focus on how SB 1906 clarifies the IFA's ability to provide credit enhancement (loan guarantee) products in addition to bond financing. In provisions beneficial to biofuel development, SB 1906 also increases the IFA's loan guarantee limit for agri-business projects from $75 million to $225 million. The changes may additionally provide the state with more access to federal funding for green initiatives.
