Bill > SB2589

This bill appropriates funds to Western Illinois University (WIU) for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, providing two separate allocations: $58,531,300 from the Education Assistance Fund to cover the university's operational expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, and $10,000 from the State College and University Trust Fund specifically designated for scholarship grant awards generated through the sale of collegiate license plates. The bill explicitly states that it will take effect on July 1, 2025, and is designed to provide financial support for the university's basic operational needs and student scholarship opportunities. The appropriations are flexible, allowing the university to use "so much thereof as may be necessary," which gives some budgetary adaptability in case the full allocated amount is not required.
