Bill > HB2547

This bill seeks to replace all references to the "Department of Veterans' Affairs" with "Department of Veterans Affairs" across multiple Illinois state laws. Here is a summary of the key provisions: This bill amends various Acts by updating the official name of the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs from "Department of Veterans' Affairs" to "Department of Veterans Affairs". The changes are primarily cosmetic and do not substantively alter the department's powers, duties, or functions. The modifications appear in numerous sections of Illinois state law, including statutes related to state employee indemnification, veterans' benefits, identification cards, healthcare, education, licensing, and various other administrative and service-related provisions. The bill is intended to create consistency in how the department is referenced across state legal codes. The changes will take effect immediately upon becoming law, and the bill does not create any new programs or significantly change existing veteran-related services. The primary purpose is to standardize the department's name throughout Illinois state law.
