SB 2509 — Summary

Short summary: Although the bill title supplied references youth records and legislative inspection, the official bill text provided is a simple FY2026 appropriation that would authorize $2 from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Department of Revenue for its ordinary and contingent expenses. The bill would take effect July 1, 2025. The measure ultimately died in committee.

Purpose and intent

  • The enacted text (as introduced) does not change policy on youth records. Instead, it makes a nominal appropriation to cover ordinary and contingent expenses of the Department of Revenue for Fiscal Year 2026.
  • The presence of a title about "youth records; authorize member of Legislature to inspect upon written release" appears to be a mismatch with the body text. The body is an appropriation for $2; it does not address access to youth records.

Key provisions (as introduced)

  • Appropriates $2 from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Revenue for FY2026 ordinary and contingent expenses.
  • Effective date: July 1, 2025.

Fiscal impact

  • Direct appropriation: $2 to the Department of Revenue (General Revenue Fund).
  • Practically, this is immaterial to the state budget and will have no meaningful fiscal impact.

Who would be affected

  • The Department of Revenue is the named recipient of the appropriation.
  • No statutory or procedural changes to youth records, legislative inspection rights, or other programs appear in the provided text.

Legislative history and status

  • Introduced: (text shows) 2/7/2025 by Sen. Don Harmon; user-supplied metadata lists introduction on 3/13/2025.
  • Procedural steps in supplied data include readings, referrals to Assignments and Appropriations, and committee action.
  • Status: Died in Committee.
  • Effective date in the bill: July 1, 2025 (would have applied if enacted).
  • Related bill: HB 5076 listed as a companion.

Notes and important caveats

  • There is a clear discrepancy between the bill title (youth records / legislative inspection) and the bill text (a $2 appropriation to the Department of Revenue). The summary above describes the text as provided.
  • Because of that mismatch, readers should verify the official bill text on the Illinois General Assembly website or the legislative clerk to confirm whether there are multiple versions or a drafting/metadata error and to review HB 5076 (the noted companion) for any related policy language.
