Bill > HB0178

This bill appropriates a minimal amount of $2 from the General Revenue Fund (GRF) to Southern Illinois University (SIU) to cover its ordinary and contingent expenses for fiscal year 2026. The bill specifically allocates funding for the university's general operational costs, with the appropriation becoming effective on July 1, 2025. While the dollar amount is extremely small, which is unusual for a university appropriation bill, it technically provides financial authorization for SIU's basic expenses for the upcoming fiscal year. The bill follows standard legislative formatting, including an enacting clause that represents the will of the Illinois state legislature and a clearly numbered section detailing the specific appropriation.
