IL HB5537

Amends Section 12-3 of the Illinois Public Aid Code regarding local governmental units' responsibilities for public aid programs.

Removes requirement for municipalities with population over 500,000 to decrease TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) funding by $5,000,000 beginning in fiscal year 2003.

Eliminates provision requiring such municipalities to continue annual decreases of $5,000,000 (or the prior year amount, whichever is less) until TANF funding reaches zero.

Takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
