Summary of HB 5348 (104th General Assembly, Illinois)

Purpose and intent

  • HB 5348 amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934, focusing on a technical change to the short title section. The bill’s primary effect is to update or clarify the citation for the act rather than to create new programmatic requirements or substantive policy shifts.
  • Introduced February 10, 2026, by Rep. Tony M. McCombie, with McCombie as a co-sponsor.

Key provisions and changes

  • Section amended: Section 1-1 of the Liquor Control Act of 1934 (235 ILCS 5/1-1).
  • Nature of change: A “technical change in a Section concerning the short title.” This indicates a clerical or codification adjustment to how the act may be cited or referenced.
  • The bill does not appear to alter substantive regulatory provisions, licensing requirements, penalties, or enforcement mechanisms within the Liquor Control Act. The emphasis is on the naming/citation language.

Who or what would be affected

  • State agencies, lawmakers, legal practitioners, licensees, and the public who reference the Liquor Control Act of 1934.
  • The change is largely administrative; it affects how the act is cited in statutes and legal documents, not the operations of liquor licensing or enforcement.

Procedural/timeline aspects

  • Status: Introduced in the 104th General Assembly (2025–2026 session) on February 10, 2026.
  • Legislative impact: If enacted, the revised short title/citation would be reflected in the Illinois Compiled Statutes and any formal references to the Liquor Control Act.

Practical takeaway

  • For most readers, the bill does not change licensing rules, fees, or enforcement practices. It is a technical codification update intended to ensure consistency and accuracy in the act’s citation. Legal references to the Liquor Control Act would align with the updated short-title language upon enactment.
