The budget passed by the Illinois General Assembly last week included a 10 percent increase for local tourism and convention bureaus, the first increase in four years.
That amount was up from what the governor proposed this spring and what the House of Representatives passed in their budget earlier this summer.
It's not clear though if the governor will use his line item veto to reduce the amount as he has threatened to do on other items.
The final budget is House Bill 3866. The appropriations are found in Senate Floor Amendment #1.
