Summary — SB 2597 (Introduced 2025)

Note on inconsistencies
- The supplied bill title ("Mississippi K-12 and Postsecondary Mental Health Act of 2025; enact…") does not match the bill text and metadata provided. The actual bill text and sponsor data correspond to Illinois SB2597 (introduced by Sen. Elgie R. Sims, Jr.) and is a single-item appropriation. This summary addresses the appropriation bill text as provided.

Purpose and intent

SB 2597 (as introduced) is a one-item appropriation bill that would provide operational funding to the State Universities Civil Service System for State fiscal year 2026. The bill’s intent is limited and administrative: to authorize a specific General Revenue Fund appropriation to meet that agency’s ordinary and contingent expenses.

Key provisions

  • Appropriation: $1,510,000 from the Illinois General Revenue Fund.
  • Recipient: State Universities Civil Service System.
  • Use: To meet operational (ordinary and contingent) expenses.
  • Fiscal year: For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
  • Effective date: If enacted, the Act would take effect July 1, 2025.

Who would be affected

  • Directly affected: State Universities Civil Service System — this is the agency that would receive and spend the funds for operational purposes.
  • Indirectly affected: Illinois General Revenue Fund and overall state budget (a $1,510,000 allocation), and potentially public universities and civil service operations that rely on the System’s services and administration.

Fiscal impact

  • One-time or annual appropriation for FY2026: $1,510,000 from the General Revenue Fund. The bill text does not specify multi-year funding or ongoing obligations beyond the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

Legislative status and timeline (as provided)

  • Introduced/Filed: 02/25/2025 (by Sen. Elgie R. Sims, Jr.)
  • Key actions recorded (provided): First reading 02/25/2025; referred to committees; various docket entries including readings and referrals.
  • Reported outcome: Died in committee (03/04/2025) — the bill did not advance to enactment.
  • Companion bill listed: HB 227.

Notes and considerations

  • The bill text is narrowly focused and does not change policy or create new programs; it simply authorizes funding to support an existing administrative agency’s operations.
  • Because the bill died in committee, no funds were authorized by this measure.
  • If you intended to review the "Mississippi K-12 and Postsecondary Mental Health Act of 2025," please verify the correct bill number and jurisdiction; the text above pertains to an Illinois appropriation bill.
