Summary — HB 3976 (STATE GOVERNMENT-TECH)

Status: Referred to Rules Committee (introduced 02/25/2025); companion bill SB 1969

Introduced by: Rep. Marcus C. Evans, Jr.
Introduced: 02/25/2025

Purpose / Intent

HB 3976 makes a technical correction to the Illinois Coal and Energy Development Bond Act by amending the statute’s short title. The bill fixes a typographical duplication in the statutory language ("the the") so the short title reads correctly.

Key provision

  • Amends 20 ILCS 1110/1 (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 4101), Section 1 (Short title).
    • Current text (as quoted in the bill): "This Act may be cited as the the Illinois Coal and Energy Development Bond Act."
    • Amendment removes the duplicated word so the short title reads: "This Act may be cited as the Illinois Coal and Energy Development Bond Act."
  • No other substantive changes to the Act’s text, structure, powers, financing, or programmatic provisions are proposed.

Who is affected

  • No material effect on state agencies, private entities, taxpayers, or program beneficiaries. The change is purely editorial/technical and does not alter rights, obligations, funding, or enforcement under the Act.
  • Affects the codified statute only by correcting a typographical error in the short title.

Procedural / timeline notes

  • Introduced 02/25/2025.
  • Committee activity: hearings and consideration in mid–April 2025; reported favorably (committee substitute considered).
  • Chamber action (per recorded actions): readings and votes occurred in May 2025 (including passage and engrossment steps and transmittal between chambers). The bill was referred to Business & Commerce and to the Rules Committee at various points in the legislative sequence.
  • Companion bill: SB 1969.

Fiscal and legal impact

  • No fiscal impact is expected. The amendment is clerical and does not change substantive law or appropriations.
  • Legal effect is limited to correcting the short title; substantive statutory provisions remain unchanged. If enacted, the correction will take effect according to the Act’s default effective date rules (typically upon becoming law unless another effective date is specified).
