The state budget for the new fiscal year beginning July 1st makes key investments in our future and addresses the needs of our state’s most vulnerable residents.

From the beginning of the budget impasse two years ago (in red), Illinois' bill backlog has grown dramatically - more than tripling to $15 BILLION+.
