Bill > HB4014

This bill appropriates $6 million from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Department on Aging, specifically to be distributed to Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) for supporting services under the Family Caregiver Act. The funding is designed to help local agencies provide assistance to family caregivers, who are individuals caring for family members with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or age-related challenges. The appropriation will take effect on July 1, 2025, and the full $6 million will be available, though the bill notes that less than the full amount may be used if necessary. Area Agencies on Aging are local organizations that coordinate and provide support services for older adults and their caregivers, helping to ensure that seniors can maintain independence and quality of life while also supporting the family members who provide their care.
