(c) The Task Force on Interjurisdictional Industrial Zoning Impacts shall consist of the following members: (1) (blank); (2) one member, appointed by the President of the Senate, representing a statewide organization of municipalities described in Section 1-8-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code; (3) one member, appointed by the President of the Senate, representing a regional association of municipalities and mayors; (4) one member, appointed by the President of the Senate, representing a regional association that represents the commercial real estate industry; (5) one member, appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, representing a statewide association representing counties; (6) one member, appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, representing a regional association of municipalities and mayors; (7) one member, appointed by the Minority Leader of the Senate, representing a statewide professional economic development association; (8) one member, appointed by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, representing a statewide association of park districts; (9) one member representing a statewide labor organization, appointed by the Governor; (10) (blank); (11) one member of the Senate, appointed by the President of the Senate; (12) one member of the Senate, appointed by the Minority Leader of the Senate; (13) one member of the House of Representatives, appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives; (14) one member of the House of Representatives, appointed by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives; (15) one member representing a statewide manufacturing association, appointed by the Governor; (16) one member who is a zoning and land use attorney, appointed by the President of the Senate; and (17) one member who is a zoning and land use attorney, appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. (d) The members of the Task Force shall serve without compensation. The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity shall provide administrative support to the Task Force. (e) The Task Force shall meet at least once every 2 months. Upon the first meeting of the Task Force, the members of the Task Force shall elect a chairperson of the Task Force. (f) The Task Force shall prepare a report on its findings concerning zoning for large industrial development and associated interjurisdictional impacts, including any recommendations.
