Bill > SB3995

This bill appropriates $7,200,000 from the General Revenue Fund (a state government's primary operating fund) to Western Illinois University specifically to support the operations of its Innovation Campus located in the Quad Cities region. The appropriation allows for the full amount to be used, though the bill notes that less than the total sum can be spent if needed. The funding is intended to help sustain and develop the university's Innovation Campus, which likely serves as a hub for educational and potentially economic development initiatives in the Quad Cities area. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, which means the funding can be accessed and utilized by the university as soon as the bill is signed.
