Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

70 ILCS 405/22.03d

(70 ILCS 405/22.03d)
Sec. 22.03d. Compliance and standards; cost sharing.

To be eligible to receive State cost-share support after September 1, 2024, soil and water conservation districts shall have an updated soil health assessment.

The Department shall update its rules and procedures for cost-share funding to be inclusive of all relevant soil health practices promoting the rapid adoption of cost-effective and technically feasible projects. Updates to the rules and procedures for State cost-share programs shall also address barriers to access experienced by beginning, socially disadvantaged, and veteran farmers.

The Department may require results-based practices or the assessments of the environmental outcomes of projects, at the field or county level, as a condition of cost-share funding.
