Bill > HB1976

This bill appropriates a minimal amount of $2 from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board (IELRB) to cover its ordinary and contingent expenses for Fiscal Year 2026. The IELRB is a state agency responsible for administering labor relations for educational employees, such as teachers and staff, by overseeing collective bargaining, resolving disputes, and ensuring compliance with labor laws in educational settings. The appropriation becomes effective on July 1, 2025, which marks the start of the next fiscal year. While the dollar amount is unusually low and might appear symbolic, it technically provides the legal authorization for the agency to receive and spend funds for its operations in the upcoming fiscal year.
