Bill > SB1628

This bill appropriates $250,000 from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) specifically to support the operational expenses of the Ste. Genevieve - Modoc River Ferry. The appropriation allows flexibility in using the full amount, noting that IDOT can use "so much of that sum as may be necessary" for ferry operations. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and represents a targeted financial allocation to maintain the ferry service, which likely provides an important transportation link across the river for local residents and travelers in the specified region. By providing dedicated funding, the bill ensures continued support for this specific transportation infrastructure that might otherwise face financial challenges.
