Bill > HB3979

This bill makes a minor technical correction to the Illinois Coal and Energy Development Bond Act by revising the short title section. Specifically, the bill modifies the language in Section 1, which defines the act's name, by redundantly inserting the word "the" before the act's title. While the government summary describes this as a technical change, the actual modification appears to be purely cosmetic, as the words "the" were already present in the original text. Such technical amendments are sometimes made to ensure precise language or formatting in state legal codes, though in this case the practical impact seems negligible. The bill does not alter the substance or implementation of the original Coal and Energy Development Bond Act, but simply makes a grammatical adjustment to its short title section.
