SB 2651 — Summary

Title (per file): Appropriation to Department of Public Health for grants to the Les Turner ALS Foundation for research on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Bill number: SB 2651
Primary sponsor: Sen. Ram Villivalam
Co-sponsors: Sen. Mary Edly-Allen; Sen. Patrick J. Joyce
Subject: Appropriations / Health research
Status: Died on Calendar (did not become law)
Effective date (if enacted): July 1, 2025

Main purpose

Provide a one-time state appropriation to support ALS research by awarding grants through the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) to the Les Turner ALS Foundation.

Key provisions

  • Appropriates $300,000 from the Illinois General Revenue Fund to the Department of Public Health.
  • Directs IDPH to provide grants to the Les Turner ALS Foundation for research on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
  • Specifies an effective date of July 1, 2025.

The bill does not create a new program, specify grant administration details beyond the appropriation, or authorize ongoing funding beyond the one-time $300,000.

Fiscal impact

  • A one-time reduction in the General Revenue Fund of $300,000 (or as much of that amount as may be necessary).
  • No ongoing fiscal obligation is created by the text of the bill.

Who would be affected

  • Les Turner ALS Foundation: intended recipient of the grant funds to support ALS research activities in Illinois.
  • Illinois Department of Public Health: recipient of the appropriation and responsible for administering/granting the funds.
  • State budget: a one-time $300,000 appropriation from the General Revenue Fund.

Legislative timeline and status

  • Filed/received by Secretary of the Senate: March 13, 2025 (per available records).
  • First reading and referral activity recorded in late April 2025; co-sponsors added in April–June 2025.
  • Companion bill: HB 4932.
  • Final recorded status: Died On Calendar (the bill did not progress to enactment). Note: some recorded dates in the legislative action history appear inconsistent or out of sequence; the key point is that the measure did not become law.

Notes

  • The bill is narrowly focused on a single, targeted appropriation for ALS research via an established nonprofit partner rather than on broader policy or regulatory changes.
  • If revived or refiled in a future session, similar language would be required to authorize the same funding.
