Bill > HB4146

This bill appropriates $5,000,000 from the Build Illinois Bond Fund to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) specifically for providing a grant to Monroe County to support levee construction, improvements, and repairs. The funding is intended to help the county address infrastructure needs related to its flood control and protection systems, with the appropriation becoming effective on July 1, 2026. The bill allows for the full $5 million to be used, or a portion of that amount as necessary, demonstrating flexibility in the grant allocation. By targeting infrastructure improvements through a specific county-level grant, the legislation aims to enhance local flood management capabilities and potentially reduce future flood-related risks and damages.
