**Application Deadline: 5:00 P. M. , December 17, 2025** In 2021, the Illinois General Assembly created the Statewide Deferred Prosecution Funding Program to provide grants to State’s Attorneys to operate deferred prosecution programs.
Deferred prosecution programs are offered at the pre-trial or prosecution phases. Deferred prosecution agreements between the state’s attorney and the participant are approved by the court. Programs may include linkage to or provision of substance abuse, anger management and other human services and/or require participants to demonstrate that they are employed or enrolled in training or education courses.
Some programs include the state’s attorney’s commitment to not oppose expungement of the arrest upon successful completion of the program. Deferred prosecution programs are often established as a complement to diversion programs which offer services in lieu of arrest in return for completion of specific objectives and no further criminal activity.

On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
