Summary — SB 2233 (Illinois, 104th General Assembly)

Status: Died On Calendar (per provided metadata)
Introduced: February 7, 2025 (filed by Sen. Sue Rezin)
Subject tags provided: Accountability, Efficiency, Transparency, Corrections

Important note on source conflict

The materials you supplied contain conflicting information:

  • The bill title/metadata you provided: “Study on Dyslexia among inmates; authorize MDOC to conduct.” That title indicates a substantive corrections/education measure authorizing the Illinois Department of Corrections (MDOC) to study dyslexia prevalence/needs among incarcerated people.
  • The actual legislative text included with the file, however, is a different—and very short—technical amendment to the Business Corporation Act of 1983 (805 ILCS 5/1.01), fixing a wording issue in the statute’s short title (removing a duplicated word: "and and").

Because the full enacted provisions for a dyslexia study are not present in the provided text, this summary treats both items separately and recommends verification (see last section).

If the attached text is the authoritative bill

What the text would do
- Amends 805 ILCS 5/1.01 (Business Corporation Act of 1983) to correct a typographical/technical wording issue in the Act’s short title (the line shows "and and" being changed).
- No substantive policy, regulatory, or budgetary change is made — this is a technical/clerical amendment to statutory language.

Who is affected
- No practical effect on businesses, regulators, or the public beyond improving statutory drafting/accuracy.

Timeline/procedure (from provided actions)
- Introduced Feb 7, 2025. The legislative actions list includes readings, committee referrals, amendments, and votes in May 2025; however, the header status indicates “Died On Calendar.” Because the procedural timeline in the record is inconsistent, confirm the final disposition with the official legislative record.

If the title/intent (dyslexia study in MDOC) is the authoritative bill

What it would likely do (based on title only)
- Authorize or direct the Illinois Department of Corrections (MDOC) to conduct a study on dyslexia among incarcerated individuals — likely assessing prevalence, screening practices, program needs, and recommendations for remediation or accommodation.
- Potential outputs: a report to the General Assembly, recommended policy changes, and possibly cost estimates for screening/treatment or staff training.

Who would be affected
- Incarcerated persons with dyslexia, MDOC operations (screening, education, medical/rehabilitative services), state corrections and education policymakers, and potentially budgets if recommended interventions are adopted.

Important missing details
- The provided materials do not include statutory text establishing the study’s scope, deadlines, required report date, funding source, or data/confidentiality provisions. Those details are necessary to assess impacts.

Recommendation

There is a clear mismatch between the bill title/subject and the legislative text included. To get an authoritative, actionable summary, verify the correct SB 2233 text and status on the Illinois General Assembly website or contact the bill sponsor’s office. Once the official text is obtained, I can produce a precise summary of the bill’s provisions, affected parties, timelines, and fiscal impacts.
