Summary of SR 749 (104th Illinois Session) – IL BACON DAY

Purpose and intent

  • Establishes a commemorative recognition in Illinois by designating a specific day as “Illinois Bacon Day” (referred to as IL BACON DAY).
  • Aims to celebrate and acknowledge the cultural, culinary, or economic significance of bacon within the state.

Key provisions and changes

  • Creates a resolution named SR 749 that designates a date to be recognized annually as IL BACON DAY.
  • The resolution may outline activities or observances to accompany the designation (e.g., educational or commemorative events, public awareness).
  • Provides recognizing language to honor individuals, businesses, or organizations associated with bacon production or the broader cultural impact.
  • No new laws or statewide mandates; the measure is symbolic and ceremonial in nature, primarily focused on recognition rather than regulatory changes.

Who or what would be affected

  • The Illinois legislative body would formally recognize the designated day.
  • Potential indirect effects include: promoting local pork industry stakeholders, boosting tourism or cultural events related to bacon, and providing a ceremonial platform for related celebrations or educational activities.
  • No changes to tax policy, regulation, or enforcement powers are implied by the bill.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • As a concurrent or state-level ceremonial resolution, passages typically require consideration by both chambers (Senate and House) and approval by the governor.
  • Timeline depends on the legislative calendar; such resolutions are generally non-binding and do not create new obligations or funding.
  • If adopted, the designated IL BACON DAY would appear in state records and be acknowledged during the relevant year’s observances.

Notes

  • The bill lists Chris Balkema as a co-sponsor.
  • The measure is framed as a ceremonial recognition rather than substantive policy legislation with fiscal implications.
