Illinois Quick Hits: Data Center group concerned over pause
(The Center Square) – The Data Center Coalition says Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s proposed two-year pause on new data center tax credits could further discourage investment at a time when the industry is facing “significant regulatory challenges and uncertainty in Illinois.”
The Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition issued a statement saying it welcomed the governor’s proposal to pause the data center tax credit.
SECRETARY OF STATE ON NON-DOMICILED CDLS
The Illinois Secretary of State’s office has issued a statement condemning the federal government’s assertions over the state’s handling of non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses.
The statement said the secretary’s office believes its CDL issuance policies and practices are substantially compliant with applicable Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requirements and will not justify cutting federal highway funding. The FMCSA said on Tuesday that nearly one in five non-domiciled CDLs in Illinois were issued illegally.
The agency directed the state to come into compliance or risk losing $128 million in federal highway funding.
