Gov Pritzker Issues Executive Order to Mitigate Impact of what he says are Trump’s Impact On Illinois’ Budget

(Chicago, IL) — Governor Pritzker is taking action to help mitigate what he calls President Trump’s disastrous economic policies on Illinois’ budget. Pritzker signed an Executive Order directing state agencies to identify up to four-percent of Fiscal Year 2026 General Funds appropriations to reserve. The order also requires agencies to conduct immediate budget reviews to identify efficiencies and reductions. The governor’s office says this action comes as all states are forced to manage the Trump and Congressional Republicans’ budget bill that threatens state revenue streams and places pressure on Illinois’ fiscal stability.
