Summary — HB 3539 (EDUCATION‑TECH)

Status: Introduced Feb 18, 2025; committee report distributed and sent to Calendars on May 8, 2025. Sponsor: Rep. Katie Stuart. Related/companion bills: HB 427; HB 2462.

Purpose and intent

HB 3539 makes a technical amendment to the Dual Credit Quality Act (110 ILCS 27). The stated change corrects a typographical error in the Act’s short‑title section. The bill does not change program substance, requirements, funding, or policy governing dual credit courses; its intent is to fix a drafting error for clarity and accurate citation.

Key provisions

  • Amends 110 ILCS 27/1 (Section 1 of the Dual Credit Quality Act).
  • Corrects the short title language from "the the Dual Credit Quality Act" to "the Dual Credit Quality Act."
  • No new authorities, duties, funding, or regulatory changes are included.

Who or what is affected

  • Practically no substantive stakeholders are affected. The bill is administrative/clerical in nature.
  • Primary beneficiaries: legal drafters, codifiers, publishers, and anyone citing the statute (reduces the chance of clerical confusion or citation inconsistencies).
  • Dual credit programs, community colleges, K–12 districts, and students see no policy or operational change.

Procedural and timeline notes

  • Introduced/first read in mid‑February 2025.
  • Referred to committee(s) and considered in public hearings (April–May 2025).
  • Reported favorably without amendment and a committee report was sent to Calendars on May 8, 2025 — indicating it was placed on a calendar for possible floor consideration.
  • The bill text does not specify an effective date; if enacted, the amendment would take effect according to standard rules or an effective date provided in the enrolled bill.

Fiscal and policy impact

  • No fiscal impact or policy change is anticipated. This is a non‑substantive, technical correction to the statute’s wording.
