Note on a discrepancy: metadata supplied with the request lists the title “Relating to staffing plans for health care provider entities.” The bill text and legislative synopsis, however, show HB 3985 as a technical amendment to the Rental Housing Support Program Act. This summary reflects the bill text and official synopsis.

Purpose / Intent

The bill makes a technical (non-substantive) change to the short title provision of the Rental Housing Support Program Act. According to the accompanying synopsis, the change is technical in nature and does not alter program substance or authority.

Key provision(s)

  • Amends Section 1 (short title) of the Rental Housing Support Program Act (310 ILCS 105/1).
  • The statutory language being changed involves a typographical correction in the short-title clause (removal/correction of duplicated word “the” in the phrase “the the Rental Housing Support Program Act”).

Exact language shown in the introduced version:
- Sec. 1. Short title.
This Act may be cited as the the Rental Housing Support Program Act.
(The amendment is intended to correct this to a single “the”.)

Who/what is affected

  • No substantive change to program rules, funding, eligibility, or administrative authority.
  • Practical impact: none on program operations, beneficiaries, or state finances. The change is editorial/technical to statutory text.

Legislative timeline and procedural posture

  • 2025-02-25: Filed and first reading (per bill text). Referred to Rules Committee.
  • 2025-03-27: Read first time; referred to Transportation.
  • 2025-06-13: First reading; referred to Speaker’s desk.
  • 2025-06-18: Referred to Behavioral Health and Health Care.
  • 2025-06-28: In committee upon adjournment (current status).

Expected impact and considerations

  • No policy, regulatory, or fiscal consequences; the bill corrects a typographical error in statute.
  • If enacted, it will simply ensure the statute’s short title is free of the duplication found in the introduced text.
  • Because the change is technical, the bill can typically be handled expeditiously in committee unless bundled with other edits or amendments.

If you want, I can:
- Track subsequent committee actions or amendments,
- Draft a one-paragraph memo for a legislative hearing explaining the non-substantive nature of the bill, or
- Compare this introduced text to the current codified version to show the exact change.
