(505 ILCS 45/2) (from Ch. 5, par. 242)
Sec. 2.
Declaration
of policy.
It is declared to be the policy of the General Assembly to provide for
aid in disseminating among the people of Illinois useful and practical
information on subjects relating to agriculture and home economics and
other University programs and to encourage the application of the same in
the several counties of the state through extension work to be carried on
by the University of Illinois College of Agriculture in cooperation with
the United States Department of Agriculture. A sharing of responsibility is
essential with counties of the state in providing for local costs of
Cooperative Extension to supplement appropriations by the General Assembly
of the State of Illinois and of the Congress of the United States to the
University of Illinois. This does not preclude voluntary grant funds from
being a part of the county extension council's budget.
