Status: Enacted — Signed by Governor June 20, 2025; effective September 1, 2025
Primary sponsor: Rep. Daniel Didech

Companion bill: SB 1825

Purpose / intent

HB 3824 makes a technical correction to the Illinois Gambling Act’s short‑title provision. The change addresses a drafting/typographical issue in Section 1 so the statute cleanly states how the Act may be cited.

Key provision

  • Amends Section 1 (short title) of the Illinois Gambling Act (230 ILCS 10/1). The amendment removes a drafting error so that the provision reads in clear, standard form — e.g., changing “This Act shall be known and and may be cited as the Illinois Gambling Act.” to “This Act shall be known and may be cited as the Illinois Gambling Act.” (technical/clerical correction only).

Who or what is affected

  • No substantive changes to gambling law, regulatory authority, licensing, taxation, enforcement, or programmatic requirements.
  • The amendment affects only the statutory text of the short title—intended to clarify citation and correct wording. There are no anticipated fiscal, administrative, or operational impacts on state agencies, licensees, or the public.

Procedural history / timeline

  • Filed: February 7, 2025 (first reading Feb 18, 2025); sponsor Rep. Daniel Didech
  • Referred: Rules Committee (initially) and later to relevant committees (State Affairs; Business & Commerce)
  • House and Senate actions: committee hearings, amendments, concurrence, passed both chambers in May 2025
  • Sent to Governor: May 31, 2025
  • Signed by Governor: June 20, 2025
  • Effective date: September 1, 2025

Notes

  • The bill is explicitly technical in nature; it does not alter substantive law or policy. Its primary effect is to improve statutory clarity and correct a typographical error in the short title provision.
