HB0111: $FY 2027 BUDGET

June 16, 2026 To the Honorable Members of the Illinois House of Representatives, 104 th General Assembly Today, I return House Bill 111, entitled �AN ACT making appropriations,� with item and reduction vetoes in the amount $500,418,129,782. The bill, among other things, appropriates State moneys for the purposes of State operations and the making of grants to various entities. Majority Leader Robyn Gabel and Senator Elgie Sims, Jr., the House and Senate sponsors, respectively, of the bill have identified a number of individual appropriation lines included in the enrolled bill sent to me for consideration that either contain errors or are duplicative of other appropriation lines already contained in the bill. Upon review, I concur with their assessment. I note that the total dollar amount of item and reduction vetoes reflected in this message appears unusually high due in large part to a single typographical error. Therefore, pursuant to Article IV, Section 9(d) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby veto the following appropriation items identified below: Article Section Page Line(s) Enacted Amount 37 225 224 2 - 5 $300,000 41 120 252 13 - 16 $2,880,000 41 555 291 10 - 14 $5,000,000 41 575 292 8 - 12 $250,000 52 140 414 9 - 10 $450,000 52 140 414 11 - 12 $900,000 52 200 426 9 - 13 $2,000,000 52 255 429 1 - 4 $250,000 52 285 430 4 - 7 $500,250,000,000 52 430 435 18 - 21 $500,000 52 490 438 5 - 12 $17,500,000 52 495 438 13 - 16 $17,812,400 52 500 438 17 - 21 $1,000,000 52 505 438 - 22 and $250,000 52 505 439 1 - 4 52 535 440 5 - 8 $250,000 52 540 440 9 - 12 $500,000 52 545 440 13 - 16 $250,000 52 550 440 17 - 20 $250,000 93 190 649 8 - 13 $20,000,000 93 195 649 14 - 18 $4,500,000 93 200 649 19 - 22 and $30,000,000 93 200 650 1 118 1675 885 10 - 16 $1,500,000 118 1760 890 7 - 11 $2,000,000 118 1765 890 12 - 16 $1,000,000 118 1935 897 10 - 13 $250,000 118 1945 897 20 - 21 and $636,000 118 1945 898 1 - 3 118 1985 899 14 - 18 $1,000,000 118 1995 900 5 - 9 $250,000 118 2000 900 10 - 14 $100,000 Further, I hereby reduce the following appropriation items and approve each item in the amount set forth in the �Reduced Amount� column below: Article Section Page Line(s) �Amount Enacted �Reduced Amount 15 476 93 4 $17,000,000 $1,700,000 15 1295 99 18 $17,000,000 $1,700,000 16 15 107 6 $38,104,782 $35,603,400 17 5 115 2 $6,339,600 $4,839,600 17 50 117 2 $8,292,000 $6,692,000 52 140 416 2 $60,000,000 $45,000,000 52 385 433 18 $650,000 $300,000 93 40 642 2 $35,000,000 $30,000,000 In addition to these specific item and reduction vetoes, I hereby approve all other appropriations in House Bill 111.
