State Senator Sue Rezin | Illinois General Assembly
Senate Republicans have introduced a bill to reinstate $4 million in funding for soil and water conservation districts (SWCD) that had been cut from the budget by Governor Pritzker. These districts work to protect Illinois’ soil and water resources through strategic conservation efforts.
The legislation responds to a significant reduction in funding for soil and water conservation districts in Pritzker’s Fiscal Year 2025 budget.
Senate Bill 3964 addresses this challenge by reallocating funds through the Partners for Conservation Fund, highlighting the indispensable role of SWCDs in environmental stewardship.
This legislation aims to ensure these districts can continue their work in environmental protection and sustainable resource management.
