SB2280 / Public Act 104-0140: OFVP Reporting and Grant Amendments

What the Bill Would Do

Public Act 104-0140 (originally SB2280) amends provisions governing the Office of Firearm Violence Prevention (OFVP) within the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS)^[1]. The OFVP was originally created in 2021 under the Reimagine Public Safety Act and has been operational since then. SB2280 does not create or establish the office. It modifies several of the office's procedural requirements and deadlines.

The OFVP's report to the General Assembly is now due annually rather than by January 1 of each year. The OFVP must compile recommendations from all Lead Violence Prevention Conveners and report those funding recommendations to the General Assembly annually rather than bi-annually. The deadline for providers reimbursed from these funds for behavioral health services to file a plan to become Medicaid certified for violence prevention-community support team services under Illinois Medicaid is extended from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 2026. Funds awarded for those behavioral health services may be used until July 1, 2026 rather than July 1, 2025.

Current Status

SB2280 was signed into law on August 1, 2025, as Public Act 104-0140^[2]. The amendments took effect on January 1, 2026. The extended deadlines for filing Medicaid certification plans and using behavioral health funds were July 1, 2026.

What to Watch

Organizations seeking CVI funding should monitor the OFVP grant application cycle through DHS for updated timelines under the amended schedules.
