Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 17.8. IEMA State Projects Fund.

The IEMA State Projects Fund is created as a trust fund in the State treasury. The Fund shall consist of any moneys appropriated to the Agency for purposes of the Illinois' Not-For-Profit Security Grant Program, a grant program authorized by subsection (g-5) of Section 5 of this Act, to provide funding support for target hardening activities and other physical security enhancements for qualifying not-for-profit organizations that are at high risk of terrorist attack. The Agency is authorized to use moneys appropriated from the Fund to make grants to not-for-profit organizations for target hardening activities, security personnel, and physical security enhancements and for the payment of administrative expenses associated with the Not-For-Profit Security Grant Program, except that, beginning July 1, 2024, the Agency shall not award grants under this Section to those entities whose primary purpose is to provide medical or mental health services. As used in this Section, "target hardening activities" include, but are not limited to, the purchase and installation of security equipment on real property owned or leased by the not-for-profit organization. Grants, gifts, and moneys from any other source, public or private, may also be deposited into the Fund and used for the purposes authorized by this Act.
