Summary — SB 2581

Important note: the bill title you provided ("Alcoholic beverages; allow local authorities of wet jurisdictions to permit package retail sales on Sunday") does not match the text of the bill document supplied. The document for SB 2581 is an appropriation bill for the Illinois Labor Relations Board. This summary reflects the actual bill text provided. Verify the correct bill number and text with the Illinois General Assembly if you intended a different measure.

Main purpose

Appropriate $2,549,200 from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Labor Relations Board (ILRB) for operational and contingent expenses for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025.

Key provisions

  • Appropriation: $2,549,200 (or so much as may be necessary) from the General Revenue Fund.
  • Purpose: To meet the ordinary and contingent operational expenses of the Illinois Labor Relations Board for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025.
  • Effective date (per bill text): Section 99 states the Act takes effect July 1, 2025.

Who is affected

  • Illinois Labor Relations Board: receives funding to support operations and contingencies for FY 2026 (beginning July 1, 2025).
  • State finances: reduces General Revenue Fund by the appropriation amount for that fiscal year.
  • Indirectly: parties who interact with the ILRB (public sector employers, employee unions, employees, and other stakeholders) may be affected to the extent operational capacity is maintained or changed by this funding.

Fiscal impact

  • Direct appropriation of $2,549,200 from the General Revenue Fund for ILRB operational expenses for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025.

Procedural and timeline notes / Inconsistencies

  • Bill text: effective date of July 1, 2025.
  • Legislative action list in the document contains conflicting entries: shows the bill was passed by both chambers, sent to the governor, signed (6/20/2025), and an effective date noted as 9/1/25 — but also shows an earlier “Died In Committee” entry (2/4/2025). These items are internally inconsistent.
  • Sponsor listed: Sen. Elgie R. Sims, Jr.
  • Related bill: HB 5403 (companion).

Recommendation: Because the provided title, status, and procedural history conflict with the bill text, consult the official Illinois General Assembly bill page or legislative clerk to confirm the authoritative version, correct bill number, and final status before using this summary for decision-making.
