The ICC's mission is to balance the interests of consumers and utilities to ensure adequate, efficient, reliable, safe and least-cost public utility services, while promoting the development of an effectively competitive energy supplier market.
The ICC is also directed by state law with protecting the public by overseeing certain transportation activities, including railroad safety, insurance and registration, relocation and safety towing, and household goods moving companies.
The Illinois Commerce Commission has five members, one of whom is designated as Chairman by the Governor. Each Commissioner is appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Illinois State Senate for a five-year term. Under Illinois law, no more than three Commissioners may belong to the same political party. For a list of former Commissioners see the Commissioner List page. View the ICC Organization Chart.
