Bill > HB3959

This bill makes appropriations and reappropriations for fiscal year 2026, beginning July 1, 2025, with funding allocated across multiple state departments and various transportation, infrastructure, and economic development projects. The bill primarily focuses on transportation-related funding, with significant appropriations to the Department of Transportation, Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, and Department of Natural Resources. Key funding areas include road and highway improvements, public transit systems (particularly in the Chicago metropolitan area), airport infrastructure, grade crossing protection, economic development grants, brownfield redevelopment, community infrastructure improvements, and capital projects for local governments, schools, and various nonprofit organizations. The bill authorizes spending from multiple funds, including the Road Fund, Build Illinois Bond Fund, Transportation Bond Funds, and various state and federal grant programs. Notably, many appropriations are reappropriations from previous years, allowing ongoing projects to continue, and most sections include provisions that expenditures cannot exceed available funds or must be approved by the Governor.
