ETHICS-TECH
SB 494 amends the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act by updating its official short title to "Ethics Act" for consistency with current statutory references. This is a purely technical correction to the law's naming, with no changes to existing ethics rules, requirements, or enforcement mechanisms. The bill does not affect any individuals, government entities, or policy provisions. It serves only to align the statute's title with modern usage in Illinois law.
