Bill > HB1961

This bill appropriates a modest sum of $2 from the General Revenue Fund (GRF) to the Illinois Department of Agriculture to cover its ordinary and contingent expenses for fiscal year 2026, with the appropriation becoming effective on July 1, 2025. While the dollar amount is extremely small, which could suggest this is a placeholder or symbolic bill, it follows standard legislative appropriations language by specifying the funding source (General Revenue Fund), the recipient agency (Department of Agriculture), and the purpose of the funds (ordinary and contingent expenses). The bill also includes a standard enacting clause indicating it represents the will of the people of the State of Illinois as expressed through their elected representatives in the General Assembly.
