Summary — HB 3933 (104th General Assembly, introduced Feb 25 / Mar 6, 2025)

Short title / note on discrepancy
- The bill header supplied includes the title “Relating to funding for relief nurseries; declaring an emergency,” but the bill text as introduced is an appropriation act for the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT). This summary follows the bill text (DoIT appropriations).

Purpose

Appropriates funds to the Department of Innovation and Technology for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, to support DoIT personnel, operations, cybersecurity work, the Illinois Century Network and broadband projects, and other IT program and administrative expenses. The bill establishes funding sources and dollar amounts for the 2025–26 fiscal year.

Key provisions and dollar amounts

  • Overall appropriation summary:

    • General Funds: $291,142,900
    • Other State Funds: $768,869,700
    • Total: $1,060,012,600

  • Major line-item appropriations (by section):

    • Payable from the General Revenue Fund:
    • Personal services (salaries): $29,858,700
    • State contributions to Social Security: $2,284,200
    • (Subtotal shown in text): $32,142,900
    • General Revenue Fund (Section 5): $257,000,000 for administrative and program expenses, including costs attributable to prior years.
    • General Revenue Fund (Section 10): $2,000,000 for costs associated with the Cybersecurity Liaison Program.
    • Management Revolving Fund (Section 15): $718,869,700 for administrative and program expenses (including prior years’ costs).
    • DoIT Special Projects Fund (Section 20): $5,000,000 for information technology projects within DoIT’s purview.
    • DoIT Special Projects Fund (Section 25): $25,000,000 for addressing cybersecurity risks and threats as authorized by Section 70612 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and associated federal guidance.
    • Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund (Section 30): $20,000,000 for costs associated with the Illinois Century Network and broadband projects.

  • Effective date: The act “takes effect July 1, 2025.” (Despite the initial title reference to an emergency, the text sets a July 1, 2025 effective date.)

Who is affected

  • Department of Innovation and Technology — primary recipient to support staff, operations, cybersecurity, network infrastructure, and program costs.
  • State agencies and units of government that rely on DoIT services (Illinois Century Network, shared IT services, cybersecurity support).
  • Entities involved with Illinois broadband projects (grantees, contractors, regional networks).
  • Indirectly benefits schools, local governments, healthcare, and other organizations dependent on state IT infrastructure and cybersecurity.

Implementation and fiscal notes

  • Several appropriations are explicitly to cover “including prior years’ costs,” indicating funds may be used for unresolved or carryover obligations.
  • Funds from specific dedicated funds (Management Revolving, DoIT Special Projects, Personal Property Tax Replacement) are used alongside General Revenue.
  • Section 25 ties $25 million to IIJA authority (Section 70612), suggesting coordination with federal cybersecurity grant rules and guidance.

Legislative status and timeline

  • Introduced: Feb 25, 2025 (filed with Clerk Mar 6, 2025)
  • Read first time / referred to committees: multiple referrals including Rules, State Affairs, Early Childhood and Human Services (subsequent referral to Ways and Means), Ways and Means by prior reference.
  • Hearings/work session: Public hearing (Mar 27, 2025); Work Session (Apr 3, 2025); Recommendation: Do pass and be referred to Ways and Means (Apr 7, 2025).
  • Current status: In committee upon adjournment (as of Jun 28, 2025).

Observations / implications

  • The bill supplies substantial recurring-year appropriations to DoIT and earmarks targeted sums for cybersecurity and broadband/Illinois Century Network activity, which could accelerate IT modernization and security efforts.
  • Details on program-level allocation, performance expectations, or matching/federal drawdown mechanics are not specified in the text and would be determined via agency plans, administrative rules, or follow-on legislative language.
