To the Honorable Members of the

Illinois Senate,

104th General Assembly

 

Today, I return Senate Bill 2510, entitled “AN ACT concerning appropriations,” with reductions in the amount $161,156,000.

The bill, among other things, appropriates money for grants to finance certain capital projects for State fiscal year 2026. Certain new appropriations included in Article 129 of Senate Bill 2510 appear to have been intended to replace portions of other appropriations and reappropriations in Articles 129 and 181 of the bill, which were not reduced by a corresponding amount.

It is evident that these appropriations were included at their current amounts in error and that the General Assembly intended for the amount of new appropriations from the Build Illinois Bond Fund to not exceed the total amount of Build Illinois bond authorization reflected in House Bill 3374.

Therefore, pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(d) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby reduce the following appropriation items and approve each item to the amount set forth in the “Reduced Amount” column below:

In addition to these reductions, I hereby approve all other appropriations in Senate Bill 2510.

Sincerely,

 

 

Governor JB Pritzker
