Summary — SB 2557 (104th General Assembly, 2025–2026)

Status: Died in Committee

SB 2557, as introduced in the 104th Illinois General Assembly, is an appropriation measure that would provide operating funds for the Illinois Civil Service Commission for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The bill does not change policy or administrative authorities; it simply authorizes a one-year General Revenue Fund appropriation for the Commission’s ordinary and contingent expenses.

Key provisions

  • Appropriates $535,000 from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Civil Service Commission to meet its operational expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
  • Effective date: July 1, 2025.

Fiscal impact

  • One-time (fiscal year 2026) appropriation of $535,000 from the State’s General Revenue Fund.
  • Intended to fund the Civil Service Commission’s ordinary and contingent expenses (staffing, administrative costs, contract services, etc.). The bill does not itemize how the funds must be spent.

Who would be affected

  • Primary recipient: Illinois Civil Service Commission (administrative operations).
  • Indirectly affected: state employees and agencies that interact with the Commission if the appropriation supports Commission operations (e.g., hearings, adjudications, personnel oversight).
  • State budget: increases General Revenue Fund obligations by $535,000 for FY2026 if enacted.

Procedural history and status

  • Filed / First readings: Filed and introduced by Sen. Elgie R. Sims, Jr. (filed Feb 25, 2025; recorded as received by Secretary Mar 13, 2025 in some records).
  • Referred to committees: Accountability, Efficiency, Transparency; later shows referral to Criminal Justice.
  • Legislative actions listed include readings and referrals dated Feb–Apr 2025.
  • Final status recorded: Died in Committee (record shows 2025-02-04). Because the bill did not advance out of committee, it did not become law.

Notes and record discrepancies

  • The bill header provided a title (“State agencies; notify Legislature of proposed rule adoption”) that appears inconsistent with the bill text (an appropriation for the Civil Service Commission). The text available is solely an appropriation of $535,000 for the Commission for FY2026.
  • Some dates in the legislative action log appear inconsistent (e.g., “Died In Committee” dated before later readings). These inconsistencies likely reflect clerical or tracking errors in the source record. The clear substantive point remains: the introduced text is an appropriation and the bill did not advance out of committee.
