Legislators approve stop-gap funds for human services Sen. Nybo joins colleagues in sending funding bill to Governor

Chris Nybo (R-Elmhurst). “State legislators put aside weeks of This kind of rhetoric cooperation is essential to divisive and voted unanimously to provide resolving our state’s funding ongoing budget impasse.” stop-gap to help struggling service providers — State Sen. keep their doors Chris Nybo open,” Nybo said. “This kind of cooperation is essential to resolving our state’s ongoing budget impasse.” Senate Bill 2038 spends $456.8 million from a special fund that collected a percentage of revenue from the 2010 income tax hike. The remaining balance comes from several other miscellaneous state funds, but the entire package is based on existing revenue. The Senate previously passed a smaller version of the appropriation, but more funding was added when the bill moved from the House. Questions arose during the floor debate about a lack of funding in the initial legislation for essential operations, like utilities, maintenance and food, Nybo said. Such operations funding is critical for mental health facilities and correctional institutions throughout the state. Approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate May 12, Senate Bill 2038 has been sent to the Governor for his consideration.
