Bill > HB0137

This bill appropriates a minimal amount of $2 from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) to cover its ordinary and contingent expenses for Fiscal Year 2026, which begins on July 1, 2025. While the appropriation amount is extremely small, the bill ensures that the ICC, a state regulatory agency responsible for overseeing public utilities, telecommunications, and other commerce-related services in Illinois, has a technical legal authorization for its baseline funding. The bill appears to be a standard administrative measure that formally allows the agency to access its budgeted funds, with the minimal dollar amount likely representing a placeholder or symbolic appropriation that would be supplemented by other funding mechanisms.
