Bill Summary · HB 2000

Summary — HB 2000 (“$IL WORK COMP COMM‑TECH”)

Status note: the materials provided appear to combine two different bills labeled HB 2000 from different states (an Arkansas education bill and an Illinois appropriation bill). This summary focuses on the Illinois measure matching the title “$IL WORK COMP COMM‑TECH” and the LRB text included in the packet. See the final “Document inconsistency” section for details.

Purpose / Intent

The bill makes a narrowly tailored appropriation to fund the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission (IWCC) for ordinary and contingent expenses in Fiscal Year 2026. The stated intent is to appropriate a statutory amount from the General Revenue Fund to the IWCC’s operating budget.

Key provisions

  • Appropriates $2 from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission.
    • Text: “The amount of $2, or so much of that amount as may be necessary, is appropriated from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission for its ordinary and contingent expenses.”
  • Effective date specified in the bill text: July 1, 2025.

Who/what is affected

  • Primary recipient: Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission — the appropriation is directed to the IWCC for ordinary and contingent expenses for FY26.
  • Fiscal impact: effectively nil. A $2 appropriation is symbolic/technical and will not materially change IWCC funding levels or operations.

Fiscal impact

  • The appropriation is $2. This amount is negligible and has no substantive budgetary effect; the bill functions as a technical or symbolic appropriation line.
  • No substantive programmatic changes or policy directives are included.

Procedural / timeline aspects

  • Bill introduced (Illinois): 02/04/2025 by Rep. Tony M. McCombie (per LRB header).
  • Effective date in bill text: July 1, 2025.
  • A companion/related bill is noted as SB 1193.
  • (The packet also includes a separate Arkansas HB2000 that follows a different procedural timeline; see note below.)

Document inconsistency (important)

  • The packet includes text and a fiscal note from an Arkansas HB2000 (Rep. Wardlaw) concerning amendments to law on education service cooperatives, public school districts, and open‑enrollment public charter schools (Arkansas Dept. of Education fiscal statement: “No fiscal impact”).
  • The LRB portion and appropriation language reference an Illinois HB2000 (Rep. Tony McCombie) appropriating $2 to the IWCC.
  • Because two distinct HB2000 bills (different jurisdictions and subjects) are present, confirm which jurisdiction and bill text you want summarized if you need more detail on the Arkansas education bill or the Illinois appropriation.
