Overview

HB5340 (104th General Assembly, Illinois) is a short, technical bill introduced by Rep. Tony M. McCombie. It amends the Legislative Commission Reorganization Act of 1984 to make a minor adjustment to the act’s short title. The bill’s presentational purpose is to update the official name reference for the legislation, rather than to introduce broad policy changes or new programs.

Main purpose and intent

  • The primary aim is to clarify or formalize the act’s short title. The bill does not propose substantive policy changes to state government operations.
  • By making a “technical change in a Section concerning the short title,” the bill ensures the act’s citation and naming are consistent with current legal drafting standards.

Key provisions and changes

  • Section amended: Section 1-1 of the Legislative Commission Reorganization Act of 1984 (25 ILCS 130/1-1).
  • Change type: Technical correction related to the short title of the act.
  • Effect: Aligns the statute’s citation language with standardized language or current formatting conventions. No new programs, funding, or regulatory requirements are introduced.

Who or what would be affected

  • Legislative history and legal references: Courts, government agencies, and legislative staff referencing the act will use the updated short title language.
  • No direct impact on programs, services, budgets, or regulatory obligations for Illinois state agencies or individuals beyond potential minor drafting or citation consistency.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Action history indicates:
    • Filed: February 5, 2026
    • First Reading: February 10, 2026
    • Referred to Rules Committee on February 10, 2026
  • As a technical amendment, it typically proceeds through the normal legislative process but is less likely to prompt public hearings or impact fiscal notes.
  • No stated effective date within the bill text; technical corrections generally take effect upon enactment like other statutes.

Summary

HB5340 is a technical bill aimed at correcting and standardizing the short title language of the Legislative Commission Reorganization Act of 1984 (25 ILCS 130/1-1). It does not introduce policy changes, new sources of funding, or administrative alterations beyond ensuring proper formal reference to the act. The bill is in early introduction stages and moving through the Rules Committee.
