Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Investment and Development
Authority Act is amended by changing Section 5 as follows:
(20 ILCS 3820/5)
Sec. 5. Purpose. The The purpose of this Act is to create a

create a new partnership between the State, banks and thrifts,
and CDFIs.
