Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
84 provisions identified: 46 benefits, 12 costs, 26 mixed.
More money for McCormick Place
The state deposits $375 million per year into the McCormick Place project fund from FY2027 through FY2035. The yearly amount rises to $450 million starting in FY2036 while specified bonds remain outstanding. Deposits depend on the chairman’s request and cannot continue after FY2060.
Limits on community college health costs
Starting July 1, 2026, health contribution rates for eligible community college employees can rise by no more than 5% over the prior year’s rate. The rule covers eligible full-time employees who contribute to the State Universities Retirement System and are not Section 3 employees.
More treatment and support in state prisons
Starting January 1, 2027, the Department of Corrections establishes a pilot offering injectable opioid treatment to at least 3,000 people in its facilities. It cannot begin until enough opioid settlement money is secured. Before release, participants must be connected with a provider and have a follow-up appointment scheduled. The Department must also offer specialized, trauma-informed services to people in its care who show signs of past trafficking or child sexual exploitation that put them at risk.
Higher wages for disability service workers
Starting January 1, 2027, rates for covered community and facility services must include a $0.60-per-hour wage increase for specified workers. At least $0.30 per hour must go directly to base wages; the remaining amount must support base-wage increases. The funds cannot pay operating or administrative costs, and federal approval is required.
Security grants for high-risk small businesses
Illinois small businesses that the state finds face an elevated or extreme threat risk can apply for security grants, subject to available funding. Grants can pay for security upgrades, training, exercises, or security staff. The first application period each fiscal year generally stays open at least 45 days. A business that shows it needs startup funds may receive an advance for startup costs and up to two months of expenses, capped at 25% of its award. Projects cannot duplicate federal projects or pending federal applications.
More downstate links to Chicago
The state can use remaining Downstate Transit Improvement Fund money for intercity rail projects linking downstate communities with Chicago, up to a total of $342 million. The state can issue annual project funding notices beginning in Fiscal Year 2026. In Fiscal Year 2027, up to $3.75 million can support daily commercial flights between Springfield and Chicago O’Hare. These grants do not set household fares or promise fare reductions.
More paratransit funding for PACE
During FY2027, the state can give up to $11.5 million for PACE paratransit costs. The funding supports service for eligible riders, including people with disabilities, but does not guarantee a particular service level or payment to riders.
More funding for state health programs
The law moves $110 million to the Healthcare Provider Relief Fund in four equal installments from July 2026 through April 2027. State officials may move money back and later transfer it again. Up to $10 million may also move to the Illinois Health Benefits Exchange Fund in FY2027, at the Insurance Director’s direction. Federal rural health program money goes into a state trust fund, which can reimburse related operating costs.
State cancels civic and transit deposits
The law ends scheduled state deposits into the Civic and Transit Infrastructure Fund for fiscal years 2024 through 2043. The schedule included $218.5 million for fiscal year 2027 and $445.1 million for fiscal year 2043. Some deposits depended on a public-private agreement and completion of the civic build. The law does not name replacement funding.
Retailers keep less in tax discounts
For returns due on or after January 1, 2025, retailers can keep up to $1,000 per month in discounts on periodic returns, with a separate $1,000 monthly cap for transaction returns. The caps apply across specified state and local taxes reported on the same return. The calculation uses the tax amount before sales-tax-holiday and qualifying-food rate reductions.
School property tax relief and limits
Starting in FY2027, a school district that receives a property tax relief grant must submit an approved resolution by March 30. The resolution lowers the district’s levy by the amount in its original application for the grant year and the next two fiscal years. Grant-receiving districts can also count prior tax relief in their tax-extension base for three years instead of two, giving them more room to extend property taxes. The law does not state how a household’s bill changes.
Income tax fund money shifts destinations
Starting in fiscal year 2026, after required payments and transfers, the first $150 million left in the Income Tax Refund Fund goes to the General Revenue Fund. Any remaining balance goes to the Pension Stabilization Fund. Transfers happen as soon as possible after each fiscal year ends.
State creates a future fund
Through June 30, 2026, the state may transfer up to $277 million from the General Revenue Fund to the Fund for Illinois’ Future, as directed by the Governor. The law does not say how the receiving fund will use the money.
Transit fares and rail subsidies get caps
In fiscal years 2026 and 2027, Road Fund spending for half-fare student rides and reduced fares for older riders cannot exceed $23.067 million per year. Intercity rail subsidies cannot exceed $76 million per year. The state can also use approved Road Fund money for port improvement grants. If House Bill 2335, with Senate Amendments 3 and 4, becomes law, leftover downstate transit money can move to an improvement fund, with reserves kept for upcoming payments and audits.
Free camping night for some visitors
From August 1 through December 31, 2026, the Department of Natural Resources may offer a free final camping night when you buy at least one other night. Campers must be 18 or older and meet the Department’s written rules. Utility charges still apply, and coupons are limited.
More child care during off-hours
Starting July 1, 2026, the Department of Early Childhood helps eligible workers find child care at night, during off-hours, or during sleep time. First responders are covered. Other workers qualify when the Department finds their schedules require care outside typical licensed-facility hours. The program depends on funding approval.
One-time $400 payment for some SNAP households
Each eligible person can receive one automatic $400 payment through an Electronic Benefit Transfer card, subject to available funding. SNAP benefits must have been cut or ended for missing work rules, and the person must not be enrolled in SNAP on the 16th day of that month. The program becomes inoperative July 1, 2027.
Higher pay for state agency leaders
Starting January 18, 2027, Assistant Secretaries of Early Childhood receive at least $197,850 per year, up from $191,694. The Governor can set a higher amount, and cost-of-living increases apply each July 1 starting in 2027. Assistant Directors of Labor and Natural Resources whose terms begin on or after January 18, 2027, receive at least $181,200 per year, with authorized cost-of-living increases.
More transportation help for students
Subject to funding, the Department of Transportation can award competitive grants for reduced fares for eligible downstate students. It can also fund cooperative transportation programs with schools and career education centers. Eligible applicants must receive Downstate Operating Assistance Program support. Students benefit only if a grant funds a program they use.
New standards for special education schools
Starting with the 2027–2028 school year, a separate public day school serving an eligible child must meet the required school definition, program standards, and rules. Educational services for the placement are funded only under the relevant law.
Scholarships funded by lottery proceeds
Net money from a special scratch-off game supports the UNCF Illinois Scholarship Program. Students must be Illinois residents attending a college or university. The law gives no amount for the grant or individual scholarships, and the funds cannot pay unrelated administrative costs.
More support for child care providers
The Smart Start program includes goals to support community child care providers, raise educator wages, and improve quality. Starting July 1, 2026, the Department of Early Childhood must operate the compensation program for eligible licensed centers and homes, subject to funding approval. It must stay separate from the Child Care Assistance Program and cannot replace it. The law sets no payment amount.
Child care providers can get renovation grants
Beginning July 1, 2026, Illinois may use Child Care Assistance Fund money for grants to convert or renovate child care homes and centers. Funding depends on appropriations and federal law. A grant-funded facility must provide child care for at least five continuous years, and the program must be licensed by the Department.
Conservation fund receives $14 million
The state continues monthly transfers from the General Revenue Fund to the Partners for Conservation Fund through June 30, 2027. The scheduled amount for fiscal year 2027 is $14 million. The money supports conservation programs, not direct household payments.
Fire Marshal gets a dedicated fund
The law creates a State Fire Marshal fund for grants, gifts, and other public or private money. Spending must follow the terms of the grants or gifts. State or federal law can require a transfer from the fund.
Funds support the state public defender
Subject to appropriation, the Office of the State Courts Administrator may spend money in FY2027 to organize and support the Office of the State Public Defender. The law gives no spending amount.
Guardianship commission can accept donations
The Illinois Guardianship and Advocacy Commission can accept public or private funds for its fund. It must use each contribution for the purpose for which it was given, as allowed by law. No contribution amount is set.
Illinois expands emergency planning duties
The state names the agency the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security. Under the Governor, it handles emergency management, nuclear and radiation safety, and homeland security programs. These areas are also added to statewide emergency plans and cooperation with other governments.
More money for brownfield cleanup
The state transfers $5 million from the Underground Storage Tank Fund to the Brownfields Redevelopment Fund on July 1, 2026, or soon after. The law does not name sites or promise payments to households.
State fund can support violence prevention
During State Fiscal Year 2027, the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority can use money in the Criminal Justice Information Projects Fund for violence prevention. The law does not state how much money will be used.
Tax data can support equal pay enforcement
The Revenue Department may share information with the Labor Department to administer the Equal Pay Act. The law does not change individual tax duties or guarantee a particular enforcement result.
More funding for worker protections
The Department of Labor can use the Child Labor and Day and Temporary Labor Services Enforcement Fund for work related to enforcing the One Day Rest in Seven Act. Spending depends on an appropriation, and the law sets no amount.
Horse racing fund gets $2.5 million
On July 3, 2026, the State Treasurer must move $2.5 million from the Horse Racing Fund to the Horse Racing Purse Equity Fund. The transfer supports horse-racing purses and does not pay households directly.
Leftover downstate transit money can move
If House Bill 2335, with Senate Amendments 3 and 4, becomes law, the state can transfer leftover downstate transit money to the Downstate Transit Improvement Fund. Transfers are due within 90 days after each fiscal year. The state must keep money for next year’s first-quarter payments and an amount equal to 2% of prior-year participant allocations for audit adjustments.
More money for capital development
On July 1, 2026, or soon after, the state transfers $10 million from the Capital Projects Fund to the Capital Development Board Revolving Fund. The law does not name the projects that receive support.
Pension funds reduce unfunded liabilities
Money in the Pension Stabilization Fund is divided among five state retirement systems. Each system’s share depends on its portion of the total actuarial reserve deficiency. The systems must use the money to fund unfunded liabilities. The law does not change individual pension formulas or state a dollar amount.
State fund can repair public facilities
If money is appropriated, the State Facility Maintenance and Improvement Fund can pay for repairs and improvements to state agency and public college facilities. It can also pay for needed equipment installation, repair, or replacement. This authority does not guarantee that money will be spent.
State funds procurement offices
For FY2024 through FY2027, the Executive Ethics Commission must set aside money for the ordinary and contingent expenses of four chief procurement officers’ offices. The law gives no dollar amount and does not change household payments or services.
State may acquire Springfield building
The Illinois Commerce Commission may buy and maintain the Leland Building property in Springfield using FY2027 appropriations. The authority ends July 1, 2027. The law gives no purchase amount.
More state money for identity security
From July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, the state can transfer money for identification security and theft prevention. The five fund limits are $1 million, $11.5 million, $400,000, $4 million, and $3 million. These are state fund transfers, not direct household payments.
More support for community water systems
The state may offer eligible local governments and community water suppliers low-interest loans, grants, forgiven loan principal, and other support for water projects. It can also move money between two state water loan funds. The law does not promise household assistance or a change in water bills.
State funds airport projects and service
The law transfers $5 million from the Downstate Transit Improvement Fund to an airport covered by the University of Illinois Airport Act. Starting in FY2027, the Department of Transportation must invite airport project applications twice a year. Applying does not guarantee funding.
State keeps transit funding flowing
The law supports public transit through monthly state fund transfers and required funding for projected payments. It also allows grants and Road Fund money for downstate routes, on-demand rides, student transportation, vehicles, and related infrastructure. Alternative transfer calculations start the month after the state receives the specified increased tax money; the law gives no total transfer amount.
Drug fund can pay program costs
The Department of Insurance can use Prescription Drug Affordability Fund money for program costs, including refunds. The state must approve the spending, and the law does not set an amount or create a direct household benefit.
Medical trust fund can support grants
The Medical Special Purposes Trust Fund can support grant programs tied to money deposited into the fund. The law does not name grant recipients, set award amounts, or create household eligibility rules.
More grants for health care costs
If money is appropriated, the state can use the Healthcare Provider Relief Fund for grants and certain medical costs under listed federal and state health programs. The law does not set grant amounts or create a direct payment to individuals.
More money for university hospital care
Beginning in State Fiscal Year 2027, the state transfers at least $20 million and no more than $65 million each year to support University of Illinois hospital and health care services. The law does not establish an individual payment or change who qualifies for care.
Public health funds reserved for claims
Transferred money from teacher, community college, local government, and state health funds can pay health-plan claims and claim reconciliations. The funds cannot pay administrative fees to plan administrators.
Child care funds support services
The Child Care Assistance Fund can pay clients or public and private groups for child care services and related programs. The Secretary of Human Services directs transfers between that fund and the Employment and Training Fund. During FY2027, the Governor may move approved early childhood funds between the Early Childhood and Human Services departments when both departments certify the transfer is needed. The law does not change child care eligibility or set payment amounts.
More chances for apprentices and contractors
Contractors can use verified apprentice work hours to earn credits toward future bids for state-funded public works. They must provide certified payroll and cannot claim overlapping credits for the same contract. The Illinois Works Fund can also support community groups and program operating costs.
New funds support Illinois arts
The law creates separate Illinois Arts Council funds for federal grants and other money received under the Act. It also creates a State Museum fund for buying and caring for objects in the museum’s collection. Each fund’s money must support its authorized purpose and generally cannot be swept into other state funds.
More tax money goes to refunds
For State Fiscal Year 2027, Illinois puts 9.15% of some income tax collections into the Income Tax Refund Fund. It puts 14% of other specified collections there. These rules change how the state sets aside tax money, not your tax rate or refund eligibility.
Higher fees for environmental petitions
Each covered petition filed with the Illinois Pollution Control Board costs $250, up from $75. Starting July 1, 2027, the fee rises each year based on inflation. The fee applies to the listed types of petitions, including site-specific rules, permit reviews, and water quality standards.
Medicaid music therapy starts later
Illinois Medicaid reimbursement for licensed professional music therapy starts July 1, 2027, instead of July 1, 2025. Federal approval is required, and the therapist must be licensed and authorized to practice.
New filing rules for businesses
Retailers can keep no more than $1,000 per month in vendor discounts for each return type, starting with returns due January 1, 2025. Businesses that lease or rent certain registered vehicles, boats, aircraft, or trailers must file electronically when selling them to a retailer for resale. The Department of Revenue sets the filing method.
Youth prevention fund loses yearly money
After June 30, 2026, the state stops transferring money to the Youth Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Prevention Fund. The yearly transfer was $50 for each retail liquor license. The law does not specify a direct change to individual services.
Capital projects lose a sales tax transfer
The state’s transfer to the Capital Projects Fund of an amount estimated to equal 80% of net revenue from certain sales ends after June 30, 2026. Covered products include certain candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks. The law does not state the transfer amount or which projects are affected.
Coal fund transfers pause for FY2027
During FY2027, the State Treasurer cannot transfer money from the General Revenue Fund to the Coal Technology Development Assistance Fund. The law does not state the amount affected.
New compliance rules for state grants
Starting July 1, 2026, state-funded grants must follow specified federal grant rules and state grant rules. The Governor’s budget office can add rules for awards funded only with state money. For grants that also use federal money, differing federal rules generally control, with a stated exception for federal audit requirements.
Smaller state transfer to farm fund
For Fiscal Year 2027, the state transfer to the Agricultural Premium Fund is $300,000 lower. The change does not apply to transfers owed for earlier years. The law does not specify how this affects farmers or their premiums.
Extra fees at some special schools
For the 2026–2027 school year, a separate public special education day school can charge extra or separate fees for tuition or services to students placed under the relevant law. This authority applies only if House Bill 5551 becomes law in the form passed by both houses on May 28, 2026. The law does not state the fee amount or who pays it.
One-year pause in school project funding
The state stops its $5 million monthly transfer to the School Infrastructure Fund from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. This leaves $60 million less in state transfers for school infrastructure during that year. The change does not directly alter household taxes or create an individual benefit.
Counties must keep public defense funding
A county with 3 million or fewer residents that receives State Public Defender Fund support must add it to its county public defense budget. It cannot use state money to replace county funding. The law does not state the amount of state support.
Environmental funds move to a new fund
On July 1, 2026, or as soon as practical afterward, the state transfers the remaining coal ash and carbon storage fund balances to the Environmental Disaster and Remediation Fund. The old funds are dissolved, and their future deposits and obligations move to the new fund. Starting July 1, 2025, 28% of prior-year carbon sequestration fees also goes to that fund.
Freedom Schools money changes funds
Starting July 1, 2026, or soon after, the state transfers the remaining Freedom Schools Fund balance to the State Coronavirus Urgent Remediation Emergency Fund. The law does not state the amount or create a direct household payment.
Higher grant administration share
Starting in State Fiscal Year 2027, the Illinois Equal Justice Foundation can keep up to 15% of funds it receives for actual administration costs, up from 5%. The remaining money goes to recipient organizations.
New rules for horse racing funds
Thoroughbred and Standardbred fund spending is now subject to state appropriations and must follow legal purposes. At least 90% of Thoroughbred Fund money must support listed purses, awards, and programs. The 2026 Horse Racing Purse Equity Fund balance goes 45% to Stickney Township thoroughbred racing, 30% to Stickney Township harness racing, and 25% to Madison County thoroughbred racing. The transferred money must add to future purses in State Fiscal Year 2027.
New rules for state water loans
The state separates public water supply loans from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and places them with the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. Loan support can pay for fund administration and low-interest water pollution loans, but no longer includes listed public water supply assistance and supervision. Borrowers must repay principal within one year after a project begins operating. Local governments must secure repayment with a dedicated source, which can include rates and fees.
Road Fund can pay for purchase oversight
The state can use leftover Road Fund money to pay for oversight of transportation purchasing. It can do so only after paying principal and interest due on highway debt. The law does not state an amount.
State agencies can shift budget funds
For State Fiscal Year 2027, covered state agencies can move money between certain budget lines from the same state fund. Transfers are limited to operating or lump-sum expenses and cannot exceed 4% of the agency’s total appropriations for those expenses. The Attorney General, Comptroller, Treasurer, and judicial and legislative branches are excluded.
State clarifies construction project oversight
The law clarifies which independent state procurement officer oversees certain construction and construction-related services assigned to the Department of Central Management Services. The change concerns state project oversight and does not create a direct household payment or benefit.
State funds audit expenses
Within 30 days after July 1, 2026, or as soon as practical afterward, the state transfers money into the Audit Expense Fund. Listed transfers include $17.7 million from the General Revenue Fund and $2.4 million from the Education Assistance Fund. These are transfers between state funds, not household payments.
State funds receive small transfers
On July 1, 2026, or soon after, the state transfers $500,000 to the Governor’s Administrative Fund and $100,000 to the Grant Accountability and Transparency Fund. The law does not specify how these funds will use the money or describe a direct household effect.
State moves $70 million between funds
On July 1, 2026, or as soon as practical afterward, the state transfers $70 million from the BRIDGE Fund to the Fund for Illinois’ Future. The law does not say how the receiving fund will use the money.
State pension funds get new allocations
State pension money supports designated retirement systems, with at least $5 million kept in the State Pensions Fund. Starting in State Fiscal Year 2028, Unclaimed Property Trust Fund deposits are divided by each system’s share of reserve shortfalls. The allocation begins one fiscal year later than previously scheduled. Money in the Pension Stabilization Fund is continuously available for distributions under state law.
State redirects artificial intelligence fines
Civil penalties under the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act go to a state fund for court-ordered and voluntary compliance payments. The Attorney General or courts can direct the money elsewhere. This rule applies only if Senate Bill 315 becomes law in the form passed by the Senate on May 21, 2026.
State transfers waste and tank funds
The state transfers one-twelfth of $5 million each month from the Solid Waste Management Fund to the General Revenue Fund. It also transfers one-twelfth of $10 million each month from the Underground Storage Tank Fund. Both monthly transfers continue through June 30, 2027. These are transfers between state funds, not household payments.
Two state funds send money to general revenue
On July 1, 2026, or as soon as practical afterward, the state transfers $35 million from the State Coronavirus Urgent Remediation Emergency Fund to the General Revenue Fund. It also transfers $5 million from the Facilities Management Revolving Fund. The law does not specify which services change.
AI oversight fees fund state monitoring
If Senate Bill 315 becomes law in the form passed by the Senate on May 21, 2026, large frontier developers must pay fees set by state rules. Fees also apply to required disclosures, renewals, and updates. A state fund can use fees and penalties for AI safety work, subject to appropriation, and may reimburse eligible FY2027 costs. The law gives no fee or transfer amounts.
Drug fund money shifts to state budget
After the separate pharmacy-support grant transfer, the Treasurer sends remaining Prescription Drug Affordability Act collections above $1.5 million to the General Revenue Fund. This changes how state collections are divided; it does not set drug prices or create a direct household payment.
Lower contributions for Illinois academy
The Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy does not have to make Section 11 contributions for employee pay from the IMSA Income Fund. When an employee is paid partly from that fund, the Academy must still contribute for qualifying pay from other funds, excluding State general funds.
New shares for video game tax money
The 35% tax on video gaming terminal income stays the same. Starting July 1, 2026, the state sends 72.7% to the Capital Projects Fund, 14.3% to local government, 10% to a state facility fund, and 3% to the State Gaming Fund. Through June 30, 2026, the shares are 83.7%, 14.3%, and 2% for the capital, local government, and gaming funds.
Repealed income tax rule has unclear effect
The law repeals a section of the Illinois Income Tax Act. The available text does not say what the section covered or how the repeal changes taxes or other rules for households.
State tax money shifts between funds
The monthly transfer of certain sales tax money to the Capital Projects Fund ends after June 30, 2026. Starting July 1, 2025, the state sends 75% of the remaining covered motor fuel tax receipts to the General Revenue Fund and 25% to the Common School Fund. These rules change where state tax money goes, not household tax rates.

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.
