Bill Summary · HB 4022

Summary — HB 4022

Note: The materials provided contain two distinct legislative proposals both labeled “HB 4022” (from different states/contexts). This summary treats them separately to avoid conflation.

A. Illinois (Introduced March 19, 2025) — Appropriation to address school psychologist shortages

Purpose

Provides a one-time appropriation to expand the pipeline and capacity of school psychologists in the State.

Key provisions

  • Appropriates $2,950,000 from the General Revenue Fund to the Board of Higher Education.
  • Funds may be used to:
    • Expand slots in existing school psychology training programs.
    • Hire or contract additional faculty or supervisors.
    • Provide tuition waivers and training stipends to students, with priority for students of color.
  • Effective date: July 1, 2025.

Who is affected

  • Board of Higher Education (recipient/administrator of funds).
  • Illinois institutions with school psychology programs (eligible to expand slots / hire supervisors).
  • Current and prospective school psychology students (could receive tuition waivers/stipends).
  • K–12 school districts and students indirectly, through increased availability of school psychologists.

Status / Procedural notes

  • Introduced by Rep. Katie Stuart (3/19/2025).
  • Read first time and referred to Ways & Means (3/27/2025).
  • Effective date provided in the bill: July 1, 2025 (if enacted).

B. Michigan (Filed/Introduced Jan 28, 2025) — Repeal of the “Educational Instruction Access Act” (2017 PA 98)

Purpose

Repeals the Educational Instruction Access Act, codified at MCL 123.1041–123.1047 (2017 PA 98).

Key provisions

  • Enacting section: rescinds/repeals the statute known as the Educational Instruction Access Act (MCL 123.1041–123.1047) in its entirety.

Who is affected

  • Entities and individuals governed or guided by the repealed statute — this may include nonpublic education providers, school districts, local government actors, and any regulated access or land-use provisions embedded in that Act. (For exact operational impacts, consult the current text of MCL 123.1041–123.1047 to see which rights, duties, or procedures would be removed.)

Status / Procedural notes

  • Introduced/Filed Jan 28, 2025 (Representative Noah Arbit initially; also associated with Reps. Arbit and Byrnes in the text).
  • Read a first time and referred to Committee on Education and Workforce (1/28/2025).
  • Legislative action entries also list Rep. Katie Stuart and Rep. Michael Crawford as sponsors/cosponsors in related documents; verify sponsor attribution with the official state legislative record.

Notes & Recommendations

  • Because the provided packet mixes materials from different jurisdictions and versions, confirm which HB 4022 is relevant for your interest by checking the official legislative website for the appropriate state (Illinois General Assembly or Michigan Legislature).
  • For the Illinois appropriation bill, review the full appropriation language and any implementing guidance from the Board of Higher Education to understand eligibility, grant mechanics, and reporting requirements.
  • For the Michigan repeal bill, review the current statute (MCL 123.1041–123.1047) to assess concrete legal and operational effects of repeal (e.g., procedural changes, obligations removed, or impacts on local government and nonpublic schools).
