- Amount: $1,558,900 from the General Revenue Fund
- Purpose year: Fiscal year ending June 30, 2026
- Stated effective date in bill text: July 1, 2025

Main purpose and intent
- Provide a one‑year operational appropriation to the State Universities Civil Service System to meet its operational needs during FY 2026. The bill does not amend substantive civil service law; it supplies funds to support the agency’s ongoing administrative functions.
Key provisions / changes
- Appropriates $1,558,900 (or so much as is necessary) from the General Revenue Fund to the State Universities Civil Service System for the single fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
- Effective date provision in the bill text: takes effect July 1, 2025 (subject to confirmation given mixed records).
Who or what is affected
- Primary recipient: State Universities Civil Service System (the agency that administers civil service personnel systems for state universities covered by the statute).
- Indirectly affected: public universities and their classified/staff personnel processes to the extent administrative support, compliance monitoring, examinations, payroll oversight, or other operational services depend on the System’s funded activities.
- Fiscal impact: a $1,558,900 draw from the state General Revenue Fund in FY 2026. The bill appears to be a one‑year appropriation only; it does not create a continuing appropriation.
Procedural / timeline notes
- The bill was introduced in early 2025 (LRB text shows introduction Jan 31, 2025 in Illinois). The bill text specifies an effective date of July 1, 2025.
- Provided materials include a mixed legislative action log (passes, signatures, and cross‑jurisdictional entries). Before relying on the effective date or enacted text for administrative planning, verify the final enrolled act and the official chaptered/public act in the relevant state’s legislative records.
Other notes
- The packet of materials also contains unrelated legislative text (an Arizona statute amendment concerning common‑expense liens). That material is not part of this appropriation measure; confirm you are reviewing the appropriation text when checking enactment details.
- Related/companion measures listed in the file: HB 3097 and HB 1166 — verify whether those are true companions in the same state or distinct bills.
