HB 3810 — FUNDS AND MANDATES — VARIOUS

Sponsor: Rep. William “Will” Davis
Session: 104th General Assembly (2025–2026)
Status: Passed both chambers; signed by the Governor on June 20, 2025. (See notes on effective dates below.)
Companion: SB 1808

What the bill does — high-level purpose

HB 3810 is a broad “housekeeping / sunset / consolidation” bill that removes statutory references to a number of special funds, repeals several discrete programs and acts, and makes related technical changes across many Illinois statutes. The stated intent is to eliminate certain funds and statutory mandates, simplify statutory language (including municipal code definitions), and repeal several narrowly targeted programs and authorizations.

Key provisions and changes

  • Eliminates or removes statutory provisions referencing a number of specified state funds across multiple acts, including (but not limited to): State Salary and Annuity Withholding Act; Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law; Technology Advancement and Development Act; Women’s Business Ownership Act of 2015; State Finance Act; and various tax and revenue Acts (Use Tax, Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, Retailers’ Occupation Tax).
  • Amends the State Salary and Annuity Withholding Act (changes to Sections 2, 4, 6–9) to update definitions and withholding authorizations (e.g., removing or modifying references tied to funds/programs being repealed).
  • Directs the State Finance Act to repeal specified funds effective January 1, 2026.
  • Directs the Illinois Vehicle Code to repeal provisions for certain special registration plates effective January 1, 2026.
  • Repeals entire Acts:
    • Farm Fresh Schools Program Act
    • Emergency Budget Implementation Act of Fiscal Year 2010
    • Institution for Tuberculosis Research Act
    • Problem Pregnancy Health Services and Care Act
  • Makes cross‑statute edits affecting state agencies and programs, including changes to provisions in: State Employee Housing Act; State Budget Law; Department of Public Health Act; Department of Transportation Law; School Code; Higher Education Veterans Service Act; Older Adult Services Act; Fish and Aquatic Life Code; and Wildlife Code.
  • Amends the Illinois Municipal Code by removing certain definitions and related provisions.
  • Includes a House Amendment correcting a statutory cross‑reference (replacing a Department of Transportation reference with the State Finance Act) and a minor textual change (“31” → “Thirty-one”).

Who is affected

  • State agencies and officials responsible for administering the listed funds and programs (Comptroller, Treasurer, DCEO, Departments of Public Health and Transportation, etc.).
  • Beneficiaries, grantees, contractors, or service providers tied to the repealed Acts/programs (e.g., entities that participated in the Farm Fresh Schools program or the Institution for Tuberculosis Research).
  • State employees and annuitants to the extent withholding authorizations are amended or references to funds used in payroll deductions are removed.
  • Motor vehicle registrants who obtained certain specialty license plates slated for repeal.
  • Municipalities to the extent municipal code definitions and references are removed or revised.

Administrative and fiscal implications

  • Repeal and removal of statutory funds and programs will require administrative work by affected state agencies to close out accounts, adjust budgetary and accounting practices, and notify impacted parties.
  • The bill does not specify in the synopsis public reallocation of any remaining fund balances; implementing statutes or agency rules would likely address disposition consistent with general state finance procedures.
  • Potential fiscal effects depend on which funds/programs are eliminated and whether ongoing expenditures are currently supported by those funds; specific budgetary impacts are not detailed in the bill text excerpt.

Effective dates and procedural history

  • Passed the House and Senate in May 2025; enrolled and sent to the Governor.
  • Signed by the Governor on June 20, 2025. The bill synopsis notes “Effective immediately,” but the bill text specifies staggered repeals: certain fund repeals and special plate repeals are scheduled to take effect January 1, 2026. Agencies should consult the enrolled act and the Governor’s signing remarks for exact effective-date language and any transitional provisions.
  • House Amendment 001 (filed March 11, 2025) was adopted to correct a cross-reference and make a textual change.

Practical next steps for stakeholders

  • Agencies: inventory affected funds/programs, prepare close‑out plans, and update administrative rules and payroll systems.
  • Service providers and grantees: review contracts and grants tied to repealed programs to determine continuity, wind‑down procedures, and payment status.
  • Motor vehicle registrants: check DMV guidance about any impacted special registration plates and replacement options.
  • Legislators and budget staff: review fiscal notes or Comptroller guidance for treatment of remaining fund balances and budget impacts.

This summary highlights the bill’s intent to remove and repeal a range of specialized funds and programs and the resulting need for administrative implementation. For implementation specifics, affected statutes and the enrolled bill text should be consulted.
