flag Illinois reserves $482M for possible Trump-era federal cuts, delaying spending and cutting costs amid projected 2027 deficits.

flag Illinois is holding back $482 million in spending for fiscal year 2026 to prepare for potential federal funding cuts under a possible second Trump administration. flag The reserves, drawn from health care, human services, higher education, and other agencies, include delaying transfers to the Healthcare Provider Relief Fund and withholding higher education funds, while cutting overtime, travel, and hiring. flag The move comes amid projected $2.2 billion deficits for 2027 and ongoing uncertainty from federal policy changes, though major programs like K–12 education and pensions remain unaffected.
