SB3565

PUB AID-TOWNSHIPS

Final Passage·5/29/26

SB3565 allows townships in Illinois to use public aid funds for in-kind aid, including food and other necessities, for all needy individuals, not.

SB3565 amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to permit townships to use funds collected for public aid to provide in-kind aid, such as food banks, food pantries, food, paper goods, toiletries, and clothing, to poor, indigent, homeless, or those in need of immediate assistance. This change expands eligibility beyond those who qualify for General Assistance under the Code, allowing aid to be provided to all needy individuals, regardless of their eligibility status.
