Bill > SB3493

This bill appropriates $780,000 from the state's General Revenue Fund, which is the primary fund for state government operations, to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), a state agency responsible for economic development and job creation. This funding is designated as a grant to the Cook County Forest Preserve District, a local government entity managing forest preserves in Cook County, Illinois. The purpose of this grant is to support the administration and operation of two specific programs: Greencorps Chicago, likely an environmental or conservation job training program, and the Forest Preserve Experience Program, which probably aims to enhance public engagement with the forest preserves. The bill specifies that this appropriation will become effective on July 1, 2026.
