Impact

This bill is anticipated to directly impact state laws concerning funding allocations for social services aimed at supporting domestic violence victims. By earmarking financial resources for specific initiatives, like the grant to Connections for Abused Women and their Children, SB3366 represents a commitment to fostering safe environments for families in distress. The effective date of the bill is set for July 1, 2024, indicating a planned timeline for implementation, during which organizations can prepare to utilize this funding to improve their services.

Summary

SB3366 is a bill introduced in the Illinois State General Assembly aimed at empowering the vulnerable demographic of abused women and their children. The bill proposes an appropriation of $536,400 from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. The funds are designated for a grant supporting Connections for Abused Women and their Children, focusing on enhancing resources for this non-profit organization. The intention is to assist in acquiring, constructing, or renovating a communal dining space, as well as acquiring commercial-grade appliances necessary for the program's operation.
