Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.
(305 ILCS 22/30) (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026) Sec. 30. Distribution of moneys from Fund. Subject to appropriations made by the General Assembly, the Department may spend moneys from the Good Samaritan Energy Trust Fund for the purpose of providing assistance authorized under Section 25. The Department, with the advice and consent of the Low Income Energy Assistance Policy Advisory Council, shall establish priorities for the distribution of moneys from the Good Samaritan Energy Trust Fund to low-income consumers to enable them to pay gas or electric bill arrearages in order to have household gas or electric utility service connected. Low-income consumers who are unable to have their service connected even with a LIHEAP grant shall be given preference. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, on October 1, 2025, or as soon thereafter as practical, the State Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall transfer the remaining balance from the Good Samaritan Energy Trust Fund into the Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund. Upon completion of the transfer, the Good Samaritan Energy Trust Fund is dissolved, any future deposits due to the Good Samaritan Energy Trust Fund pass to the Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund, and any outstanding obligations or liabilities of the Good Samaritan Energy Trust Fund pass to the Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund.
