Note: The bill metadata provided included an unrelated title referencing a Mississippi education act. The text of SB 2609 (LRB10412022RLC22117b) and the sponsor (Sen. Elgie R. Sims, Jr.) indicate this is an Illinois appropriation bill for the Office of Statewide Pretrial Services. This summary covers the bill text as introduced.

Main purpose

To appropriate state and related funds for the operations, grants, reimbursements, and project expenses of the Illinois Office of Statewide Pretrial Services for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

Key provisions

  • Section 5: Appropriates $60,549,700 from the General Revenue Fund to the Office of Statewide Pretrial Services for:
    • operational expenses
    • awards and grants
    • reimbursements
    • permanent improvements and other pretrial services expenses
    • (All amounts “or so much thereof as may be necessary.”)
  • Section 10: Appropriates $1,000,000 from the Office of Statewide Pretrial Services Special State Projects Fund for expenses related to various state projects.

  • Fiscal impact on the State: increases planned expenditures from the General Revenue Fund and dedicated pretrial funds for FY 2026.

Additional notes / caveats

  • The provided legislative action dates contain inconsistencies (e.g., “Died In Committee” dated earlier than some filing dates). The status reported here (“Died In Committee”) is from the data supplied; consult the Senate journal or legislative tracking service for authoritative procedural history.
  • The bill text is an appropriations measure and does not amend policy or create new substantive pretrial law — it provides funding and fund-source designations for the Office’s operations and projects in FY 2026. If refiled or enacted, implementing details (grant terms, reimbursement formulas, or project scopes) would typically be set by the Office under existing statutory authority or by separate statute.
