Bill > SB2537

This bill appropriates funds for the Illinois Department of Human Rights (DHR) for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, allocating money from several different funding sources. Specifically, the bill provides $17,697,900 from the General Revenue Fund for the department's operational expenses, $50,000 for the Commission on Discrimination and Hate Crimes, $100,000 from the Department of Human Rights Training and Development Fund for administrative expenses, $4,794,800 from the Special Projects Division Fund for departmental operations, $500,000 from the Department of Human Rights Special Fund for filing expenses, and $5,000,000 from the Hate Crimes and Bias Incident Prevention and Response Fund for grants and administrative expenses related to combating hate crimes. Additionally, the bill reappropriates $1,500,000 from a previous appropriation to provide a grant to the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Midwest Region Office in Chicago to operate a mobile museum bus focused on tolerance. The appropriations are described as "or so much thereof as may be necessary," which allows flexibility in spending, and the bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
