Representative Elik and Senator Harriss Champion Newly Signed Law to Modernize America’s Central Port District
Legislation sponsored by State Senator Erica Harriss (56th-Glen Carbon) and State Representative Amy Elik (111th-Alton) to modernize and improve the operations of the America’s Central Port District has been signed into law.
House Bill 2139, introduced at the request of the Port District, delivers greater flexibility, accountability, and efficiency to one of Illinois’ most critical economic hubs. The bill updates decades-old provisions in the America’s Central Port District Act, aligning the law with modern financial and operational practices.
“This is about keeping our Port District competitive while ensuring transparency and responsibility,” said Rep. Elik. “These updates will help the Port operate effectively for decades to come.”
Does the State of Illinois Owe You Money?
Rep. Amy Elik and the Treasurer’s Office are giving you the opportunity to see if Illinois owes you any money and will help you file a claim to access it.
ICASH is a program designed to help people locate and reclaim unclaimed property. Over $2 billion have been returned to residents. Unclaimed property can be anything from forgotten bank accounts and uncashed checks to insurance payments, stocks, and even safe deposit boxes.
