State of Illinois

The State of Illinois is the state government of Illinois, delivering public services across infrastructure, healthcare, human services, public safety, natural resource management and economic development. Its work spans transportation and infrastructure, including roads and bridges, alongside public safety, healthcare and public health, human services, education, economic development and business support, and natural resources management.

The government operates statewide, from Chicago to Springfield to rural Illinois communities, serving millions of residents across the Midwest. It is organised as a network of agencies, departments and services spanning multiple branches of government, staffed by public servants whose daily work affects residents' everyday lives.

Among the services it provides are driver's licence renewal, benefits applications for families and individuals seeking human services, business start-up and registration support for entrepreneurs, and public information resources for residents seeking government information. Work across the organisation is oriented toward public service, with commitments to responsiveness and transparency and to the continuous improvement of service delivery, making it more accessible and efficient for Illinoisans.
