SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – State Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth, D-Peoria, passed a bill creating the OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois Fund, which will be primarily funded by new OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois vehicle decals.
“The OSF System’s headquarters is right here in Peoria, and they offer high quality medical treatment across the State of Illinois,” said Gordon-Booth. “By creating this new fund and source of revenue for Children’s Hospital, we’re investing in high quality healthcare for all the children in our community and around the state.”
House Bill 4558 establishes the OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois Fund to be financed by profit from specific vehicle decals. Decals will cost $25, with proceeds to be split between the OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois Fund ($10) and the Secretary of State (SOS) Special License Plate Fund ($15).
Decal renewal will also cost $25, with $23 going to the OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois Fund and the remaining $2 to the SOS Special License Plate Fund.
“OSF Children’s Hospital is nationally ranked, provides children acute and specialist care, and is one of only four Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Centers in the entire state,” said Gordon-Booth. “Our community is proud to be the home of such crucial care, and I’m proud to ensure their work can continue to help children all around the state.”
House Bill 4558 passed in the House and goes to the Senate for consideration.
