Summary of HB 3578 (FINANCE-TECH)

Overview

  • Bill number and title: HB 3578, “FINANCE-TECH”
  • Sponsor: Rep. Brandun Schweizer
  • Introduced: February 18, 2025
  • Current status: Referred to Rules Committee (as of introduction). The bill has since been considered in public hearings and left pending in committee.
  • Purpose (as introduced): The bill is described as an amendatory measure to the State Finance Act focusing on a technical change related to the Act’s short title. Specifically, the introduced synopsis indicates the bill would amend 30 ILCS 105/1.1 to update or correct the short title language.

Note: The provided text shows only a technical, housekeeping change to the short title and does not propose new programs, funding, or substantive policy changes.

What the bill would do

  • Statutory reference: Amends 30 ILCS 105/1.1 (from Chapter 127, Paragraph 137.1) of the State Finance Act.
  • Core change: Aims to make a technical adjustment to the short title section. The introduced language indicates the act shall be known and may be cited as the “State Finance Act,” and the amendment would address the short-title wording to ensure proper citation and terminology.
  • Substantive impact: None anticipated in terms of programs, appropriations, or policy direction. The measure is primarily a housekeeping/formatting correction.

Who or what would be affected

  • Directly affected: State agencies and the General Assembly that operate under the State Finance Act, as well as legal professionals and state officials who reference the Act’s short title.
  • Broad impact: Minimal, since the change is administrative and affects how the Act is cited rather than how funds are appropriated or programs are administered.

Key provisions and changes (highlights)

  • Technical amendment to the short-title language of the State Finance Act, 30 ILCS 105/1.1.
  • The introduced text reiterates the short-title framework, with the anticipated adjustment intended to standardize or correct citation (e.g., capitalization, wording, or duplication).

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Filed: February 3, 2025 (per legislative actions; introduced February 18, 2025).
  • First reading: February 18, 2025.
  • Referred to: Rules Committee (February 18, 2025); later referred to Land & Resource Management (March 25, 2025).
  • Public hearing: May 1, 2025 (testimony taken; left pending in committee).
  • Current trajectory: As of the latest actions, the bill remains in committee with a procedural path forward dependent on committee action.

Fiscal and policy impact

  • No explicit fiscal impact or new policy programs are indicated. Because the bill is a technical amendment to a short-title provision, any cost is expected to be administrative or negligible.

Next steps for readers

  • Monitor committee action on HB 3578, particularly in the Rules Committee and any subsequent impact on the Land & Resource Management committee.
  • If enacted, the short-title correction would be reflected in the official citation of the State Finance Act and associated legal references.
