Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

24 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 13 costs, 6 mixed.

Illinois schools get needs-based funding formula

Illinois school funding uses student counts, grade levels, and student groups to calculate each school unit's funding target. The formula includes staffing and special education investments, plus per-student amounts: $40 for gifted education and $125 for staff training. It also includes $190 for materials, $25 for assessments, and $1,038 for maintenance and operations. Beginning in 2018–2019, units ranked Tier 1 or Tier 2 the prior year also receive $285.50 per student for technology, subject to State Board requirements. The expected local contribution uses the funding target, tax-base measures, and actual local receipts, with an adjusted target when receipts exceed the local target.

New school aid follows four tiers

Illinois divides new state school funds by funding adequacy: Tier 1 gets 50%, Tier 2 gets 49%, Tier 3 gets 0.9%, and Tier 4 gets 0.1%. Tier 2 gets at least as much per student as the highest Tier 3 allocation. The minimum funding level is $350 million, with no more than $50 million from the property tax relief pool counted toward it. When the combined funding falls below that minimum, tier funding is reduced in a set order. The property tax relief pool target is $50 million for state fiscal year 2019 and each year after.

Matching produce dollars for SNAP families

Subject to appropriation, Illinois must provide a $500,000 annual grant for matching SNAP produce incentives. A qualified Illinois nonprofit organization or agency administers the program. SNAP recipients get matching dollars for eligible fruits and vegetables at participating Illinois farmers markets and direct producer-to-consumer venues. All grant money must go to participating farmers markets for these incentives. The provision does not state a household maximum.

Schools can refer children's behavioral cases

The required interagency agreement must let the Illinois State Board of Education present qualifying children's behavioral health cases. A parent or guardian must consent before the Board notifies the interagency team and presents the child's clinical case. The child must already have a service referral and meet the criteria for priority review. This replaces the prior requirement for the Community and Residential Services Authority to make those referrals. Review does not guarantee services.

Local agencies face narrower land-taking powers

The law narrows local use of quick-take, an expedited process for taking private property. Mt. Carmel Regional Port District loses this power for lowering structures and general purposes, but keeps it for removing airport hazards. White County Port District loses it for facility development; Grand Avenue Railroad Relocation Authority and Elmwood Park Grade Separation Authority lose it for general purposes. Grand Avenue also loses a presumption of public benefit and necessity for private utility, pipeline, or railroad takings that need no Illinois Commerce Commission certificate or finding of public convenience and necessity. That presumption change does not remove Grand Avenue’s underlying eminent-domain power.

Extra funding for qualifying intervention schools

Qualifying school units can receive annual intervention money added to their base funding minimum. Eligibility requires at least four school years under an Independent Authority or State Board control under a court order. Units must have ranked Tier 1 or Tier 2 the prior year and show sustainability through a five-year financial and strategic plan, plus progress in governance, academics, and finances. The State Board reports the proposed amount by January 2 of the determination's fiscal year; lawmakers can approve or reject it by joint resolution. No action within 40 calendar days means approval; funded units must report progress annually for their first four years.

Five specialty plate options end

Beginning January 1, 2026, Illinois ends authorization for five specialty license plate options. They are Curing Childhood Cancer, American Red Cross, Illinois Police Benevolent and Protective Association, Public Safety Diver, and The H Foundation–Committed to a Cure for Cancer. The law also repeals the sections establishing the Public Safety Diver Fund and Committed to a Cure Fund that day. The supplied provisions do not state whether existing plates remain valid or how fees change.

Four charity plate decal options end

Beginning July 1, 2025, Illinois ends four universal license plate decal options and dissolves their funds. They support the Horsemen’s Council of Illinois, Prostate Cancer Awareness, Theresa Tracy Trot–Illinois CancerCare Foundation, and Developmental Disabilities Awareness. Each decal originally cost $25, with $10 going to its fund. The law also repeals the sections establishing all four funds on January 1, 2026.

Faster property takings for Rock Island

The Rock Island Regional Port District and participating municipalities can use quick-take eminent-domain proceedings for general Port District purposes. This gives them a faster process for acquiring property. Owners whose land faces a qualifying taking are subject to that faster process.

State workers lose payroll bond purchases

Illinois State employees and annuitants can no longer buy U.S. Savings Bonds through payroll or annuity withholding. The law also removes the related bond-purchase and trust-fund procedures. When an employee's authorization ends, offices no longer must immediately return unused wage deductions for bond purchases. The text gives no replacement refund timeline or process; it does not say the money is forfeited. Buying bonds through other methods remains allowed.

Legislative employee oversight list narrows

The law removes the Senate Operations Commission from the authorities listed for Legislative Inspector General employee oversight. Covered employees must have a legislative leader or the Joint Committee on Legislative Support Services as their ultimate authority. Oversight covers events during the employee’s work under a listed authority.

Tuberculosis research law is repealed

Illinois repeals the Institution for Tuberculosis Research Act. The supplied provision does not describe its programs, funding, or duties, so specific service effects are not established.

Farm Fresh Schools program ends

The law repeals the Farm Fresh Schools Program Act, ending its statutory program. The supplied provision does not identify the services, funding, or effective date of this repeal.

Seven charity plate funds merge

Beginning July 1, 2025, or as soon afterward as practical, seven plate funds transfer their balances and dissolve. They are the Chicago and Northeast Illinois District Council of Carpenters, United Auto Workers, 4-H, National Wild Turkey Federation, American Red Cross, Illinois Police Benevolent and Protective Association, and Curing Childhood Cancer funds. The Secretary of State Special License Plate Fund receives their money, future deposits, and outstanding obligations and liabilities. On January 1, 2026, the law repeals the first four programs’ plate sections and the sections establishing the last three funds. No transfer amounts are stated.

Tourism grants lose one funding source

The International Tourism Fund is no longer a listed funding source for grants under the Illinois Global Partnership Act. It continues to cover other listed international-tourism expenses and grants. This change does not itself end the Global Partnership grants, and no funding amount is stated.

Disability care fund payment uses narrowed

The law narrows uses of the Illinois Care Provider Fund for Persons with a Developmental Disability. It removes authority to use this fund to reimburse money the Department collected by error or mistake. It also removes authority for specified payments when the other participation-fee trust fund has no money available. This change does not itself create a new payment duty for individuals or families.

Business grants lose dedicated funding protections

Illinois' commerce department retains authority to offer grants for projects with a clear effect on attracting, recruiting, or keeping businesses. The department must choose to establish the program, and the General Assembly must appropriate money. Applicants must match each State grant dollar with one dollar. The law removes the dedicated program fund and the rule protecting unused year-end balances from expiring.

Technology awards lose dedicated funding source

The Technology Cooperation Fund can no longer pay awards under the Illinois Technology Advancement and Development Act. Awards can still use General Revenue Fund appropriations or available federal reimbursement funds. Applicants must meet the Act’s eligibility requirements. No award amount is specified.

Women’s business council loses fundraising authority

The Illinois Women’s Business Ownership Council loses its express authority to seek and accept public or private grants, gifts, and donations. The law also removes its express authority to deposit that money into the Women’s Business Ownership Fund. No funding amount or direct change to service eligibility is stated.

Legislative staff retirement funding rules change

The law changes which legislative staff count for State and employee retirement contributions funded through a legislative commission's budget. It includes staff paid from lump-sum appropriations to the General Assembly or one of its officers. District-office staff and legislative support agency employees are excluded. The definition no longer lists the Senate Operations Commission. These changes concern the specified funding arrangement, not a stated change in contribution rates.

Illinois boards face reviews and shutdowns

Beginning in 2027, appointing authorities may review covered boards in odd-numbered years and recommend abolition by December 31. This applies when the authority appoints, or must appoint, most board members. Reviews may consider two years without business or meetings, executive-order abolition, or completion of a final required report. Recommended boards become inactive upon report submission, but boards created or authorized within the previous two years are protected. Legislative staff must draft a repeal bill in the next even-numbered year; the recommendation does not itself repeal the board.

Illinois repeals pregnancy health services law

The law repeals the Problem Pregnancy Health Services and Care Act. The supplied text does not describe that Act's services, eligibility rules, or duties. It therefore does not establish which household services or protections change.

Property values reshape school aid calculations

Illinois generally uses the prior three years’ average assessed property value to calculate school funding. After a yearly decline of at least 10%, it uses the lower of the latest value or that average. Special calculations apply during the first three years after a reorganization, consolidation, or annexation. The state also subtracts an amount tied to specified tax abatements, using rates of 3.00% for K–12, 2.30% for K–8, and 1.05% for grades 9–12 districts. These rules change school aid calculations, not household property tax bills directly.

School funding baselines corrected and redirected

For 2022–2023, school funding baselines include corrections to fiscal years 2019–2022 enrollment errors for Article 34 districts. They also include fiscal year 2022 property tax relief grants. A regional-office or intermediate-service-center program with zero enrollment gets no baseline funding for that program the next fiscal year. That money goes to school funding units instead.
