Bill > HB3104

This bill appropriates $35,000,000 from the General Revenue Fund (GRF) to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) to support the New Arrival Student Grant Program. The funding, which will become effective on July 1, 2025, is intended to provide financial assistance to new arrival students, which likely refers to recently immigrated students or students who are new to the educational system. The bill allows for the full $35 million to be allocated, or a lesser amount if not all funds are needed, to support grants under Section 2-3.196 of the School Code. By earmarking these funds, the state aims to help support educational resources and opportunities for newly arrived students who may need additional assistance in adapting to the school system.
