Bill > SB2563

This bill appropriates funds for the Illinois Human Rights Commission for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, allocating a total of $5,952,300 from the General Revenue Fund. Specifically, $3,681,300 is designated for the Commission's operational expenses, which cover the day-to-day functioning of the agency that investigates and addresses discrimination complaints. An additional $2,271,000 is allocated to the Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission, a specialized body likely focused on investigating and providing relief for cases of potential wrongful convictions or human rights abuses. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and provides flexibility in the appropriations by allowing the funds to be used "as may be necessary," which means the Commission can spend up to but not necessarily the full allocated amount depending on actual needs and expenses.
