Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Other Social Services Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Permits townships to use moneys received and collected for public aid to provide funds and administer programs for providing in-kind aid in meeting basic maintenance requirements, including, but not limited to, food banks, food pantries, food, and other specified items to persons who are poor, indigent, homeless, or in need of immediate assistance, regardless of eligibility (rather than to persons eligible for General Assistance under the Code).
Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Other Social Services Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that in addition to financial aid provided to persons eligible for general assistance under the Code, a township, from moneys received and collected for public aid funds, may establish and administer food banks, food pantries, and programs for providing in-kind aid in meeting basic maintenance requirements to persons who are poor, indigent, homeless, or in need of immediate assistance regardless of their eligibility under the Code.
