305 ILCS 5/ Illinois Public Aid Code.

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.

Transitional jobs; pilot program.

Subject to appropriations
or other funding, the Department of Human
Services may establish a pilot program to place hard-to-employ persons,
including
persons who have been released from a county jail or a facility under the
jurisdiction of
the Department of Corrections, in jobs. By rule, the Department shall determine
the
location in which the pilot program is to be implemented and the services to be
provided.
In determining locations for the pilot program, however, the Department shall
give priority to areas of the State in which the concentration of released
offenders is the highest.
The Department may consult with the Department of Corrections in establishing
the pilot
program.
