Bill Summary
concerning State government.
AI Summary
This bill makes nonsubstantive changes to Illinois law by removing the dehumanizing term "alien" from statutory provisions and replacing it with more neutral language like "noncitizen" or "person". The bill explicitly states that these changes are not intended to make any substantive changes to existing law, including eligibility for federal programs or benefits that are available to persons meeting the definition of "alien" under state or federal law. The bill amends various acts, codes, and statutes throughout Illinois law to update the terminology used to refer to individuals who are not United States citizens.
