SB 1517 — “WILDLIFE‑TECH” (summary)

At a glance

  • Title: WILDLIFE‑TECH
  • Bill number: SB 1517
  • Introduced: February 21, 2025
  • Status (as provided): Referred to Assignments
  • Primary effect: Technical (non‑substantive) amendment to the short‑title language of the state Wildlife Code

Purpose / intent

The bill makes a minor, technical correction to the Wildlife Code’s short‑title provision (Section 1.1). Its intent is editorial/clarifying rather than substantive: to correct wording in the statute that describes the Act’s short title and citation.

Key provision(s)

  • Amends Section 1.1 of the Wildlife Code (codified at 520 ILCS 5/1.1 in the text shown) to correct the short‑title phrasing. The existing language contains a typographical wording error ("and and may be cited as the 'Wildlife Code'"); the amendment replaces or corrects that clause so the section cleanly states the short title (e.g., “This Act shall be known and may be cited as the ‘Wildlife Code’”).
  • No other substantive changes to regulatory provisions, definitions, enforcement, or programmatic elements of the Wildlife Code are proposed in the language shown.

Who is affected

  • Direct legal/regulatory impact: None substantive. The change is clerical/technical and does not alter rights, duties, penalties, or regulatory standards under the Wildlife Code.
  • Administrative/fiscal impact: Negligible. No material fiscal effects are expected because the amendment does not create new programs or modify enforcement or funding.

Procedural / timeline notes

  • Introduced February 21, 2025; status shown as referred to Assignments.
  • The text provided appears to be a single‑section, technical amendment; such bills typically follow the standard legislative process for noncontroversial or housekeeping changes (committee referral, possible expedited floor consideration).
  • Because the amendment is non‑substantive, it is frequently eligible for rapid passage and does not usually require extended hearings or fiscal analysis beyond confirming no effect.
