Bill > HB0278

This is a shell bill in the Illinois General Assembly, identified by the "-TECH" suffix in its title. It is a placeholder that either makes a trivial, meaningless edit to an existing law (such as changing 'the' to 'the' in a short title section) or appropriates a nominal $2 to a state agency. It contains no substantive policy and exists so that it can later be amended with entirely new content via a "gut and replace" amendment. Shell bills are a standard tool used by Illinois legislators to keep legislative options open past filing deadlines.
