Bill > SB2635

This bill appropriates $647,600 from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) specifically to provide a grant to the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. The grant will support the administration and operation of two programs within the Conservation Corps program: Greencorps Chicago and Forest Preserve Experience. These programs likely focus on environmental conservation, job training, and community service for young adults or unemployed individuals, providing opportunities to work on preservation and restoration projects in the Cook County Forest Preserve system. The bill specifies that the funding will take effect on July 1, 2025, and the full amount of $647,600 may be used, or a lesser amount if less is necessary to support the designated programs.
