SB 1155 — “STATE GOVERNMENT‑TECH” (Summary)

Note on sources: The document you provided contains text from two different bills numbered SB 1155 (one from Illinois and one from Arizona). The primary bill matching the title, sponsor and procedural history in your materials is the Illinois bill (sponsored by Sen. John F. Curran). This summary focuses on that Illinois measure and then briefly notes the unrelated Arizona text that also appeared in the packet.

Identification and Status

  • Bill number: SB 1155
  • Short title shown: STATE GOVERNMENT‑TECH
  • Sponsor (Illinois): Sen. John F. Curran
  • Introduced (IL): January 24, 2025; Filed with Secretary Jan. 24, 2025
  • Recent status: Re‑referred to Assignments under Rule 3‑9(a) (April 11, 2025)
  • Companion: HB 438

Purpose / Intent

The Illinois SB 1155 is a technical, non‑substantive bill that amends the Council of State Governments Act (25 ILCS 166). Its purpose is to correct and clarify statutory language in Section 3‑5 (the provision that sets the short title and reference for the Article).

Key Provisions

  • Amends 25 ILCS 166/3‑5 (Section 3‑5) to revise the short‑title language. The change eliminates a typographical duplication and makes explicit that references to “this Act” within the Article mean the Article itself. In effect the section will read along the lines of:
    • “This Article may be cited as the Council of State Governments Act. As used in this Article, ‘this Act’ refers to this Article.”
  • No policy, programmatic, or substantive legal changes to the duties, powers, or operations of the Council of State Governments are proposed — this is a drafting/clarification fix.

Who Is Affected / Impact

  • Direct impact: None on programs, regulated entities, or fiscal accounts. The change is purely technical and intended to improve statutory clarity and citation.
  • Administrative impact: Minimal — reduces ambiguity in statutory cross‑references and corrects a drafting error.

Procedural Notes

  • Introduced and given first reading in the Senate on Jan. 24, 2025; referred to Assignments. As of April 11, 2025, the bill was re‑referred to Assignments per Rule 3‑9(a). Monitor committee calendars for further movement.

Related material (appeared in supplied document)

  • The packet also included an unrelated Arizona SB 1155 (amendment to ARS §43‑1022) that clarifies the income tax subtraction language to refer to “uniformed services” in paragraph 11. That is a separate state bill and is not part of the Illinois technical amendment described above.
