Purpose / Intent

HB 3984 makes a technical, non‑substantive amendment to the Illinois Affordable Housing Act (310 ILCS 65). The change concerns the Act’s short‑title provision (Section 1). The bill is intended to correct or revise the statutory short‑title language rather than make policy, programmatic, or funding changes.

Key provision

  • Amends 310 ILCS 65/1 (former Ch. 67 1/2, par. 1251) — the short title section of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act — by replacing the existing text of Section 1 with revised short‑title language. The bill is described in its synopsis as making a “technical change in a Section concerning the short title.”

(Note: the bill text as introduced is limited to this short‑title technical amendment. No substantive changes to eligibility, program authority, funding, or enforcement provisions of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act are included.)

Who/what is affected

  • Effect on statutes: Modifies the short‑title clause of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act only.
  • Effect on persons/agencies: There are no direct programmatic, regulatory, fiscal, or substantive impacts on individuals, housing providers, state agencies, or local governments evident in the bill text. The change is clerical/technical in nature.
