Summary — SB 2467 (Introduced LRB10407189HLH17226b) — 104th General Assembly

Note on source: The bill title provided in your prompt (relating to CPS and mandatory‑reporter training) does not match the text of the introduced bill (LRB10407189HLH17226b). This summary is based on the introduced text of SB 2467 (filed by Sen. Omar Aquino) as provided, which is an appropriations measure for youth pre‑apprenticeship and 21st Century Employment grants.

Main purpose

Provide one-time appropriations from the General Revenue Fund to support pre‑apprenticeship workforce training for individuals under age 18 in underserved areas (focusing on technology and information‑systems fields) and to fund the 21st Century Employment grant program administered by the Illinois Community College Board.

Key provisions

  • Appropriates $5,000,000 (General Revenue Fund) to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) for grants to entities (including community‑based organizations, community colleges, and higher education institutions as deemed appropriate by DCEO) to administer pre‑apprenticeship workforce training programs targeted to residents under 18 in underserved areas.
    • Target fields include: computer and information sciences; computer systems networking and telecommunications; computer security/assurance; management information systems; and similar technology/information fields.
  • Appropriates $5,000,000 (General Revenue Fund) to the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) for grants to community college districts and public high schools to administer the 21st Century Employment grant program.
  • Effective date (if enacted): July 1, 2025.

Funding and recipients

  • Total proposed appropriation: $10,000,000 (two $5,000,000 grants).
  • Grant administrators: DCEO and ICCB.
  • Intended direct recipients: community‑based organizations, community colleges, colleges/universities (per DCEO discretion), community college districts, and public high schools.

Who would be affected

  • Primary beneficiaries: individuals under age 18 who reside in “underserved areas” (term defined by the Economic Development for a Growing Economy Tax Credit Act).
  • Secondary beneficiaries: community organizations, K–12 public high schools, community college districts, and higher education institutions that receive grants to deliver training and pre‑apprenticeship programming.
  • State agencies: DCEO and ICCB responsible for grant administration.

Procedural status and timeline

  • Introduced (per bill text): Feb 7, 2025, by Sen. Omar Aquino.
  • The introduced text sets an effective date of July 1, 2025.
  • Legislative record provided indicates the bill was referred to multiple committees (Assignments, Judiciary Division A, Appropriations, Education K‑16) but ultimately did not advance—status shown as “Died In Committee.” Thus it did not become law.

Notes / Observations

  • The expressed policy focus is on expanding early workforce pipelines into technology and IT‑related fields in underserved communities via one‑time state funding.
  • Eligibility specifics, grant award criteria, reporting requirements, and performance measures are not detailed in the introduced appropriation text; those would be developed by the administering agencies if the appropriation were enacted.
