Glowiak Hilton supports SB3661 to retain earnings in emergency management funds

Sen. Suzy Glowiak Hilton (D-23rd) cast a Yes vote on SB3661—which keeps investment earnings allocated to emergency management funds—during the 104th General Assembly on May 31, 2026, the Illinois Senate reported. The bill received unanimous Senate approval, passing 58-0.

Per the bill's official summary, the measure concerns "EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-FUND."

The explanation below draws on the official bill language and includes clarifications to outline its provisions.

This legislation amends the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act, mandating that interest earned from investing or depositing funds in state treasury funds earmarked for the agency’s administration and operations be credited back to those specific funds. The intent is to ensure such investment income continues to support emergency management activities rather than being redirected to unrelated state accounts. The law is effective immediately once enacted.

SB3661’s recorded legislative action was 'House Committee Amendment No. 1 Senate Concurs.'

Hilton earned a BA from Illinois Institute of Technology in 1983.

A member of the Democratic Party, Hilton was elected to the Illinois State Senate in 2023, representing the 23rd Senate District and succeeding Diane Pappas.

Illinois legislation progresses through a multi-stage legislative process that involves initial introduction in the House or Senate, committee consideration, floor debate, and approval in both chambers before advancing to the governor for final action. The General Assembly follows a biennial session format, during which thousands of bills may be introduced, but only a subset ultimately becomes law.
