Bill > SB1586

This bill appropriates $200,000 from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Human Services (DHS) specifically to provide a grant to Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Cook County for their Creating Independent Transitions for Youth (C.I.T.Y.) Program. The term "appropriates" means the bill allocates or sets aside a specific amount of government funding for a particular purpose, in this case supporting a youth program. The bill specifies that the full $200,000 may be used, or a lesser amount if not all funds are needed, and it will become effective on July 1, 2025. The C.I.T.Y. Program appears to be focused on helping young people transition to independence, likely supporting youth who are aging out of the foster care system or facing other challenges in becoming self-sufficient.
