Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
27 provisions identified: 7 benefits, 5 costs, 15 mixed.
Higher pay for agency director
For terms beginning on or after July 1, 2027, the Director of Disability Advocacy and Guardianship receives at least $197,000 per year, or a higher amount set by the Governor. The salary increases each July 1 by the authorized cost-of-living adjustment.
More legal help for disabled people
Illinois creates a state department for disability advocacy and guardianship. Eligible people can get legal counsel in covered mental health court cases, and their lawyers can review their mental health records. Facilities must give required notices, keep records, and contact the Department about restraints or seclusion. The Department also provides information about supported decision-making and reviews certain reports and guardianship appointments.
Tax judge loses annual stipend
Beginning with the successor Chief Administrative Law Judge’s term in 2029, the judge no longer receives an extra $15,000 per year.
DUI memorial charges and funds change
A jurisdiction may charge a qualified relative for a DUI memorial marker, but the fee cannot exceed the cost to make, install, and maintain it. The existing $50 fee for a DUI conviction or court supervision goes to the DUI Prevention and Education Fund instead of the Roadside Memorial Fund. A court may waive the fee when the person complies with full restitution. The Roadside Memorial Fund’s remaining money, deposits, obligations, and liabilities move to the DUI fund, and the roadside fund then ends.
Lawyers for some adoption cases
When an adoption petition alleges unfitness under Section 1(D)(p), the court must appoint a lawyer for a person who is indigent or has no appearance entered when the case is set for hearing. The court may use a Department of Disability Advocacy and Guardianship lawyer or a public defender. It may appoint a private lawyer only when neither has one available.
Human rights agency gets subpoena power
Beginning January 1, 2026, the Department of Human Rights Director or a designated representative can issue subpoenas for investigations. They can require witnesses to attend or require needed books, records, or documents.
New fund for domestic violence services
The law creates a state fund for domestic violence shelters and related services. It receives assessments under the Criminal and Traffic Assessment Act, and money is appropriated to the Department of Human Services for services under the Domestic Violence Shelters Act. The law does not set an assessment amount or guarantee a funding level.
Stronger oversight for people with disabilities
The state disability advocacy department gains stronger tools to review care and protect people’s rights. It can inspect some recipient records after written notice, but cannot inspect a record when the person allowed to consent objects in writing. The state must also review complaints, share certain facility reports and death notices, and let advocates inspect handcuff and transport-device records at Chester Mental Health Center. Department staff must report suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Regional boards can refer matters for approved follow-up, and investigated parties can include replies in public findings if they ask. Threats tied to the public work of department social workers, caseworkers, attorneys, and investigators remain felonies.
Funding changes for accessible information
The grant program for accessible electronic information services remains available to qualified groups serving blind people and people with disabilities. The law no longer names a specific fund as the required source for grants. The Illinois Commerce Commission’s duty to determine needed funding applies only through 2025. Starting July 1, 2026, the state transfers the fund’s remaining balance and related obligations to the General Revenue Fund. The fund’s statutory section is repealed January 1, 2027. The law does not say how services or future grant funding will change.
Sexual assault fund loses revenue source
The law removes one listed source of money for the Sexual Assault Services Fund. Other listed sources remain. The law does not state how much funding changes or alter household eligibility for services.
Early college fund moves to state revenue
Beginning July 1, 2026, the remaining balance of the early college readiness fund, along with future deposits and obligations, moves to the General Revenue Fund. The fund’s statutory section is repealed January 1, 2027. The law does not say whether student eligibility or services will change.
Port project loan fund closes
Beginning July 1, 2026, the remaining balance of the Port Development Revolving Loan Fund and its future deposits and obligations move to the Build Illinois Bond Retirement and Interest Fund. The loan fund section is repealed January 1, 2027. The law ends this dedicated loan source for eligible port and freight projects but does not say whether other financing remains.
Limits on state guardian appointments
The Division of State Guardian must consent before serving as a standby or short-term guardian. It must agree before serving separately alongside another guardian, and it cannot serve as a co-guardian. These limits protect the Division’s choice about appointments but narrow the guardianship arrangements available.
New review of human rights settlements
A three-member panel of the Illinois Human Rights Commission must approve settlements involving the Department of Human Rights. The panel must decide within 15 days after a settlement is filed. The review adds oversight but can affect how quickly a settlement is finalized.
Bottled water safety funds move
Starting July 1, 2027, money from bottled-water safety laws goes into the Food and Drug Safety Fund. The remaining balance, future deposits, obligations, and liabilities of the Safe Bottled Water Fund also move there. Spending on bottled-water safety depends on legislative appropriation, and the old fund section ends January 1, 2028.
New school rules for digital bullying
Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, schools can treat certain nonconsensual digital replicas as cyberbullying when they cause, or could reasonably cause, an effect listed in the bullying definition. The law ends the dedicated bullying-prevention fund. The State Superintendent may still give grants to eligible schools, but grants depend on an appropriation, and schools that do not meet the law’s stated requirements cannot receive them.
Broadband funds and payments change
Beginning July 1, 2026, the remaining balance and obligations of the Digital Divide Elimination Infrastructure Fund move to the General Revenue Fund. The fund’s section is repealed January 1, 2027. The law directs all money from specified telecommunications civil penalties to the Digital Divide Elimination Fund. Certain holders must use their required payments for broadband deployment anywhere in Illinois, rather than only for purposes tied to the infrastructure fund. The law does not state future funding levels or guarantee a project.
Election fines go to a new fund
Fines for submitting a candidate statement or photo without the candidate’s authorization go to the Elections Special Projects Fund instead of the Voters’ Guide Fund. The law changes where the state deposits the fines, not the amount of the fines.
Motorcycle safety fund deposits change
The state changes how it determines deposits to the Cycle Rider Safety Training Fund. Deposits must follow amounts required by cited vehicle-code provisions instead of the prior formula based on recent motorcycle, motor-driven-cycle, and moped registration fees. The law does not state the new deposit amounts or change household fees.
Professional regulation funds are combined
The state can use the General Professions Dedicated Fund for certain controlled-substance enforcement work. Beginning July 1, 2026, the Professional Regulation Evidence Fund’s balance and related obligations move to that fund. The Evidence Fund’s section is repealed January 1, 2027. The law does not state an amount or change household licensing duties.
Special Olympics funds are combined
Beginning July 1, 2027, the Special Olympics Illinois Fund’s balance, future deposits, obligations, and liabilities move to the Special Olympics Illinois and Special Children’s Charities Fund. The former fund’s section is repealed January 1, 2028. The law keeps the stated plate fees: $45 for original issuance and $27 for renewal. Of those fees, $30 and $25, respectively, go to the charities fund.
State Fair funds are combined
Beginning July 1, 2026, the remaining balances of the State Fair Promotional Activities Fund and the Watershed Park Fund move to the Illinois State Fair Fund. Their future deposits, obligations, and liabilities move there too. The old fund sections are repealed January 1, 2027. The law does not state the amounts transferred or changes to services.
State flight costs shift to new fund
Through June 30, 2027, state air transportation fees go to the Air Transportation Revolving Fund. Starting July 1, 2027, they go to the Aeronautics Fund, which also receives the old fund’s balance and obligations. Beginning in State fiscal year 2028, Aeronautics Fund money may pay for state flight equipment, staff, and operating costs, subject to appropriation. The old fund section is repealed January 1, 2028.
Wildlife funds receive license money
Fees from lifetime hunting, fishing, and combination licenses go to the Wildlife and Fish Fund. Beginning July 1, 2026, the Fish and Wildlife Endowment Fund’s balance, future deposits, obligations, and liabilities also move there. The old fund section is repealed January 1, 2027. The law does not change license fees or state a service-level effect.
Changes to school and college funds
The college-readiness fund’s statutory authorization ends January 1, 2027. Starting July 1, 2026, remaining School STEAM Grant Program Fund money and responsibilities move to a State Board of Education trust fund; its old fund section ends January 1, 2027. The teacher certificate fund can pay for license technology and administration, plus professional meetings approved by a regional superintendent.
More funds for worker law enforcement
Money and responsibilities from the former public-works employment fund move to the Employee Classification Fund starting July 1, 2026, or as soon as practical. That fund can support administration, investigations, outreach, and education, subject to legislative appropriation. The Paid Leave for All Workers Fund also supports enforcement of the Family Neonatal Intensive Care Leave Act. It receives 20% of collected penalties for prevailing-wage violations; this changes where the penalty money goes, not the penalty amount.
Repeal of tax collection law
The law repeals the Reciprocal Tax Collection Act. The supplied provision does not explain how this changes tax collection, taxes owed, or state revenue, so the effect on households is unclear.

HB5198, AFFORDABLE HOUSING-CILAS
Amends the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act. Requires non-exempt local governments to provide residents with notice and the opportunity for comment at a public hearing prior to adopting an affordable housing plan. Requires a non-exempt local government to provide proof of its compliance with the notice and public hearing requirements when it submits a copy of its affordable housing plan to the Illinois Housing Development Authority. Expands the list of information that must be provided in the affordable housing plan to include, (i) an identification of "specific lands" (rather than "lands") within the jurisdiction that are most appropriate for the construction of affordable housing, (ii) proposed timelines to commence "specific actions and deadlines" (rather than "actions") to implement the components of the affordable housing plan, and (iii) incentives, including certain measures to address the need for affordable housing, that the local government may provide for the purpose of attracting affordable housing. In a provision permitting certain persons to appeal a local government's denial of a proposed affordable housing plan, expands the list to include a service provider that is under contract to provide services for potential residents of a proposed supportive housing project or community-integrated living arrangement that is included in the proposed affordable housing plan. Contains provisions concerning final actions or decisions by the governing body of the local government on the proposed affordable housing plans; appeal procedures and timelines; and other matters. Expands the Illinois Housing Development Authority's rulemaking authority to include the adoption of rules and regulations concerning the substance of affordable housing plans consistent with the changes made in the amendatory Act.
SB1937, PENSION CODE-VARIOUS
Amends the State Employee Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Provides that a member who is eligible to receive an alternative retirement annuity may elect to receive an estimated payment that shall commence no later than 30 days after the later of either the member's last day of employment or 30 days after the member files for the retirement benefit with the System. Provides that the estimated payment shall be the best estimate by the System of the total monthly amount due to the member based on the information that the System possesses at the time of the estimate. Provides that if the amount of the estimate is greater or less than the actual amount of the monthly annuity, the System shall pay or recover the difference within 6 months after the start of the monthly annuity. Excludes a benefit increase resulting from the amendatory Act from the definition of "new benefit increase". Effective immediately.
HB2563, CONDO-RESERVE STUDY
Amends the Common Interest Community Association Act. Requires a common interest association to conduct and update a reserve study every 5 years. "Reserve study" means an analysis of the reserves required for future major maintenance, repairs, and replacements of the common elements. Grants a 5-year window for an association to conduct a reserve study or update a current study. Requires a reserve study to be made available to any prospective purchaser of a unit upon request for a resale of any unit in the community. Exempts an association with 15 or fewer units but still requires the board to comply with the budgeting and reserve requirements elsewhere in the Act. Amends the Condominium Property Act to make similar changes.
HB4701, LIMITATIONS FACILITY FEES ACT
Creates the Limitations on Facility Fees Act. Provides that no health care provider shall charge, bill, or collect a facility fee, except for: (i) services provided on a hospital's campus; (ii) services provided at a facility that includes a licensed hospital emergency department; or (iii) emergency services provided at a freestanding emergency center. Provides that, except as specified, no health care provider shall charge, bill, or collect a facility fee for: (i) outpatient evaluation and management services; or (ii) any other outpatient, diagnostic, or imaging services identified by the Department of Public Health. Requires the Department to annually identify services subject to the limitations on specified facility fees that may reliably be provided safely and effectively in settings other than hospitals. Sets forth provisions concerning reporting, rulemaking, and enforcement of the Act. Amends the Fair Patient Billing Act to make a conforming change. Amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Provides that any person who violates the Limitations on Facility Fees Act commits an unlawful practice.
SB3008, DHS-ABLE PROGRAM INFO MATERIAL
Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Administrative Act and the Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities Act. Required the Department of Human Services to provide informational materials about the Senator Scott Bennett ABLE Program to: persons who are placed in a facility licensed under the ID/DD Community Care Act, the MC/DD Act, or the Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013; persons with disabilities who receive services funded by or administered in conjunction with the Department, including, but not limited to, home and community based services, home-based support services, PUNS services, home care services, and services at a Center for Independent Living. Provides that the informational materials shall be provided when a person first enrolls for such services and as part of any annual process required for the person to maintain eligibility for such services. Requires the Office of the State Treasurer to prepare and deliver the informational materials in an electronic format to the Department and distribute the materials to eligible persons.
SB3484, VEH CD-PLATES-REGISTRATION
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that the design and color of registration plates shall be wholly within the discretion of the Secretary of State. Provides that plates for veterans with disabilities who have been approved for benefits under the Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities Property Tax Relief Act shall pay a specified fee (instead of $24). Authorizes the Secretary to suspend or revoke a certificate or the special plates issued to tow truck or wrecker operator upon determining that the person is not lawfully entitled thereto or has made or knowingly permitted any illegal use of the plates or has committed fraud in the registration of vehicles or failed to give notices of transfers. Prohibits a vehicle from being registered in the name of a person who is not an owner or lessee of that vehicle. Requires a vehicle owner seeking to register a vehicle in the State to register that vehicle to a State address. Provides that it is a violation for a person to alter, forge, or counterfeit a license plate or digital license plate. Provides that if no assignable title is available when auctioning a vehicle, the auctioneer or dealer must apply for Illinois title for the purpose of assigning title. Provides that the renewal fee for licenses and permits issued to 18, 19, and 20 year olds is $5. Provides that the Secretary shall issue a meter-exempt decal or device to the parent of a person with a disability who is under 18 years of age and incapable of driving or the legal guardian of a person with a disability incapable of driving. Makes other changes.
