Bill > HB1999

This bill appropriates a modest sum of $2 from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) for its fiscal year 2026 operational expenses. The appropriation is intended to cover ordinary and contingent expenses, which typically include day-to-day operating costs such as administrative overhead, basic equipment, and other essential expenditures needed to maintain the agency's core functions. The bill specifies that the full $2 may not necessarily be spent, but is available up to that amount as needed. The appropriation will become effective on July 1, 2025, which marks the start of the next fiscal year. While the dollar amount is extremely small, this bill represents a standard budgetary allocation process that ensures the IEMA has funding to continue its critical work in emergency preparedness, response, and management for the state of Illinois.
