Impact

While the bill is largely technical in nature with limited direct impact on the broader policy landscape surrounding disabilities services in Illinois, it reflects ongoing legislative efforts to maintain and update the legal corpus governing disabilities. By ensuring that existing statutes are precise and consistently referred to, the bill helps avoid potential confusion in the application of the law. The impact is more about legal housekeeping rather than sweeping changes to disability services.

Summary

SB0888 is a legislative bill introduced in the Illinois General Assembly, aimed at amending the Disabilities Services Act of 2003. The primary focus of this bill is to make a technical change concerning the short title of the Act. This type of amendment typically indicates a clarification or adjustment to existing legislation rather than introducing new provisions or altering the legal framework significantly. Such changes are often routine actions taken to enhance the clarity and precision of legal texts.

Contention

Since the changes proposed in SB0888 are merely technical without introducing substantive policy changes, it appears that there are no significant points of contention among legislators regarding this bill. Technical amendments such as these often pass with broad bipartisan support due to their non-controversial nature. However, discussions surrounding the broader implications of the Disabilities Services Act in general may continually occur in parallel, particularly concerning funding and service delivery.
