Summary of SB3632 (104th General Assembly, Illinois)

Title

SURGICAL INSTITUTE-REPEAL

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill repeals the Surgical Institute for Children Act (325 ILCS 60/Act rep.), effectively ending the legal framework that established or governed the Surgical Institute for Children in Illinois.

Key Provisions

  • Repeals: Section 5 of the bill states that the Surgical Institute for Children Act is repealed. In practical terms, the act and its authorities, programs, or governance structures created under it would be removed from statute.
  • No replacement language is provided in the bill text for new programs or institutions; the reform is a straight repeal of the existing act.

Who/What Is Affected

  • The primary subject is the Surgical Institute for Children and any state authority, programs, funding mechanisms, governance, or regulatory requirements tied to the Surgical Institute for Children Act (325 ILCS 60).
  • Upstream implications could affect stakeholders such as:
    • Children who would have been served by the Surgical Institute for Children.
    • Health care providers and hospital systems involved in the Institute’s programs.
    • State agencies previously administering or overseeing the Institute.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduced: February 5, 2026, by Senator Paul Faraci.
  • Co-Sponsors: Senator Paul Faraci; Representative Carol Ammons (House sponsor when if enacted).
  • Floor and Committee Actions (as per action history):
    • February–April 2026: Assigned to relevant committees (initial assignment to Assignments in Senate; later to Higher Education in Senate).
    • February 25–26, 2026: Passed the Senate Higher Education committee with a Do Pass recommendation (013-000-000).
    • February 26, 2026: Placed on Calendar for 3rd Reading in Senate.
    • March–April 2026: Passed 3rd Reading in Senate (status shows 057-000-000).
    • April 14–17, 2026: Placed on the Calendar for 3rd Reading in the House and subsequently introduced in the House (Rep. Carol Ammons as Chief House Sponsor).
    • April 17, 2026: Arrived in the House; referred to Rules Committee; first reading in the House.
  • Next steps (if enacted): The bill would repeal the Surgical Institute for Children Act upon enactment, removing the statutory authority for the Institute. Depending on the broader legislative package, the repeal could be accompanied by transitional provisions or funding realignments, but none are present in the current text.

Notes for Readers

  • The text provided covers only the repeal and does not include any transitional provisions, sunset dates, or replacement programs. If you are assessing the bill’s overall impact, consider examining potential downstream effects on related health services, state funding allocations, and any contracts or obligations tied to the Institute.
  • The bill is relatively narrow in scope, focusing solely on repealing the act rather than modifying other health care statutes.
