AI Summary
This bill creates the Elections Special Projects Fund as a new special fund in the State treasury, which will receive federal grant reimbursements paid to the State Board of Elections. The fund's money can only be used for purposes consistent with Section 5 of Article III of the Illinois Constitution, which relates to suffrage and elections. Starting June 30, 2026, and at the end of each subsequent fiscal year, the State Comptroller will direct and the State Treasurer will transfer any funds in the account exceeding $1,000,000 to the General Revenue Fund. This essentially means that while the Elections Special Projects Fund can accumulate up to $1 million, any amount beyond that threshold will be automatically transferred to the state's main operating fund. The bill also includes a minor amendment to the State Finance Act to support this new fund's creation and operation.
