Bill > HB2023

This bill appropriates a modest sum 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 General Revenue Fund is the state's primary operating fund, used to support various government functions and institutions. While the appropriation amount is extremely small, which is unusual for a state university funding bill, the legislation specifies that the full $2 or any portion thereof can be used by SIU for its operational costs. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, which marks the beginning of the state's fiscal year, and appears to be a very minimal funding allocation for the university.
