Main purpose / intent

HB 3882 is an appropriation bill that provides a specific funding allocation to Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) for its ordinary and contingent (operational) expenses for the State of Illinois fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The bill also sets the act’s effective date.

Key provisions

  • Appropriates $41,981,500 from the Education Assistance Fund to the Board of Trustees of Northeastern Illinois University.
  • Specifies that the funds are for the university’s ordinary and contingent (operational) expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
  • Sets the effective date of the Act as July 1, 2025.

Who/what is affected

  • Primary recipient: Board of Trustees of Northeastern Illinois University — the university would receive the appropriation to cover operational costs in FY 2026.
  • Funding source: Education Assistance Fund — the appropriation is drawn from this state fund.
  • State budget/fiscal planning: the appropriation changes planned disbursements and allocations from the Education Assistance Fund for FY 2026; it therefore affects overall state education funding priorities for that fiscal year.

Fiscal impact

  • Direct appropriation of $41,981,500 for NEIU’s operational expenses in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. (No other dollar amounts or offsets are specified in the bill text.)

Procedural and timeline notes

  • Introduced and read in early 2025 (first reading 2/25/2025; filed 3/06/2025).
  • Referred to various committees and subcommittees (including Rules Committee and subcommittee activity listed).
  • Subcommittee actions (April 14, 2025): considered in a public hearing; testimony and registrations recorded; left pending in subcommittee.
  • Posting rule temporarily suspended (4/10/2025).
  • As of 2025-06-28 the bill status is "In committee upon adjournment."
  • Companion legislation in the Senate: SB 1728.

Notes / observations

  • The bill is narrowly focused on a single institutional appropriation and does not amend tax law or broader revenue structures beyond prescribing the effective date (July 1, 2025).
  • Further committee action or passage of the companion Senate bill would be required to finalize the appropriation into law.
