HB 3585 — Summary (Introduced version)

Note: the bill packet contains an apparent title mismatch. The bill header shown to the General Assembly references “Relating to strangulation; prescribing an effective date,” but the text of HB 3585 as introduced concerns a reappropriation of bond funds for a development grant. This summary describes the bill text as introduced.

Main purpose

Reappropriate $30,000,000 from the Build Illinois Bond Fund to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) as a grant to Woodlawn Central LLC to fund pre‑development, engineering, and construction activities for a specified project.

Key provisions

  • Reappropriates $30,000,000 (or so much as may be necessary) from a prior appropriation in Article 165, Section 90 of Public Act 103‑0006 (Build Illinois Bond Fund).
  • The reappropriated amount is made available to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to be awarded as a grant to Woodlawn Central LLC.
  • Authorized uses of the grant: pre‑development, engineering, and construction.
  • The reappropriation applies to funds that remain unexpended and are reappropriated at the close of business on June 30, 2025.
  • Effective date: July 1, 2025.

Who is affected

  • Recipient: Woodlawn Central LLC (grantee receiving the DCEO grant).
  • Administrator: Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), which would manage/grant the funds.
  • Fiscal source: Build Illinois Bond Fund (state bond proceeds previously appropriated under Public Act 103‑0006).
  • Indirect: the local community or project beneficiaries in the Woodlawn area, contractors, and engineers engaged in the funded work (as appropriate to the project), though the bill text does not specify project details.

Fiscal impact

  • Authorizes use of $30,000,000 in previously appropriated bond funds. This is a reappropriation of existing bond-authorized funds, not a new bond issuance in the bill text.
  • The bill does not include additional appropriations beyond the stated $30,000,000.

Procedural status and timeline

  • Introduced: February 18, 2025 (filed March 3, 2025 entry also present).
  • Referred to multiple committees (Rules, Judiciary, Appropriations‑Public Safety & Infrastructure, Public Health); to Fiscal Impact Subcommittee on 2025‑03‑20.
  • Legislative actions include first readings and referrals; status listed as “In committee upon adjournment” (as of 2025‑06‑28).
  • If enacted, the act takes effect July 1, 2025.

Notes / Issues

  • Inconsistency between the bill title (relating to strangulation) and the bill text (an appropriation/reappropriation for a development grant). The substantive text governs legislative effect; sponsors/clerical entries should be checked for errors or amendment history. Sponsors listed include Rep. Kam Buckner (introduced) and Richardson (primary) in the provided metadata.
