b'FY26 Business Development Packages Incorporated into the Tax BillIn addition to the tax proposals in the Revenue Omnibus, there was included at the last minute several of the provisions that had been previously included in the FY26 Business Development Package (located in SB 2008 (Cervantes/Hoffman)). Under SB 2008, there were several positive economic development tools that the Chamber supported. While some of the provisions did were not ultimately included in the Revenue Omnibus, the following provi-sions were retained: Update to the States Wayfair nexus laws to more easily capturing sales tax revenues on remote sell-ers Makes changes to the Illinois Gives Tax CreditExpands the authority of the Illinois Finance Authority to support additional local projects, including clean water projects, wastewater treatment projects, and climate resiliency projectsExpands the Rivers Edge tax credit program to Alton and Sterling, IllinoisModifies the EV Rebate under IEPACreates a new Advanced Innovative Manufacturing tax creditMakes several enhancements to the EDGE tax credit, REV tax credit, and HIBWhile many of the items that were included in the Revenue Omnibus help and support many of the industries the Chamber represents, ultimately the new tax burdens are anti-competitive and outweigh the improvements to the States business incentive toolkit. FY26 Budget Implementation Bill (BIMP)The BIMP this year, which traditionally includes operational language for many of the budget-related items and several non-budgetary items, made several changes. The FY26 BIMP was largely aligned with many of the major budgetary items in the Governors recommended budget.A few of items of note include the following:Contains enhancements to DCEOs SBIR/STTR grant programCreates the Tier 2 Social Security Wage Base Reserve Fund and allows for $75 million to be redirect-ed to the Fund Grants broad authority for the Governors Office to make line-item transfers of no more than 4% of the appropriated amount across agencies Extends the life of the Design-Build Procurement Act through 2027 Contains the $0.80 wage increase for certain frontline DD/ID and MC/DD facility workers Sets certain SNAP recipient eligibility restrictions for single individuals Instructs DHFS to provide notice to GOMB prior to making or agreeing to make any advance payment to any hospital; requires additional reporting States that the IDPH, at the direction of the Governor, will engage in a health care strategy and delivery planning efforts to determine steps to strengthen safety-net hospitals and other health care systems in pursuit of long-term sustainability24|END OF SESSION REPORT'
