Summary — SB 1359 (Illinois) — $ISBE‑YOUTHBUILD IL GRANT

Purpose

SB 1359 would provide a state appropriation to support YouthBuild Illinois by funding a grant administered through the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). The bill’s stated objective is to direct one-time state resources to YouthBuild programming.

Key provisions

  • Appropriation: $5,500,000 (or so much as may be necessary) is appropriated from the General Revenue Fund to the State Board of Education.
  • Use: The funds are designated for a grant to YouthBuild Illinois. The bill text does not specify further programmatic conditions, eligibility criteria, or reporting requirements within the excerpt provided.
  • Effective date: The act takes effect July 1, 2025 if enacted.

Who is affected

  • YouthBuild Illinois: primary beneficiary; will receive grant funding to support local YouthBuild program operations or expansion.
  • Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE): responsible for receipt and administration of the appropriation and the grant to YouthBuild Illinois.
  • Youth participants and local providers: indirectly affected—YouthBuild programs typically serve out‑of‑school or disconnected youth with education, job training, and credentialing opportunities (the bill does not add or change program definitions or requirements).
  • State budget/General Revenue Fund: a one‑time appropriation reduces available GRF resources by up to $5.5 million in the relevant fiscal year.

Fiscal and timeline notes

  • Fiscal impact: a one‑time outlay of $5.5 million from the General Revenue Fund; the bill does not specify multi‑year funding.
  • Effective date upon enactment: July 1, 2025.

Procedural status and related legislation

  • Introduced in the Illinois Senate on January 28, 2025 (by Sen. Adriane Johnson).
  • Referred to legislative committees (e.g., Appropriations — Education); companion House bills listed as HB 3154 and HB 1040.
  • If enacted, implementation and disbursement details (application process, allowable expenditures, oversight) would be determined by ISBE or by subsequent administrative guidance unless further legislative detail is provided.

Notes / Limitations

  • The bill text provided is narrowly drafted as an appropriation; it does not include statutory changes establishing new program authority, eligibility rules, or reporting/accountability provisions for how ISBE must allocate or monitor the grant funds.
  • For programmatic impact and oversight detail, stakeholders should review any implementing ISBE guidance or supplemental legislative language tied to the appropriation.
