JESSE WHITE STATE OF IL BLDG.
This bill officially designates the State of Illinois Building in Chicago as the "Jesse White State of Illinois Building." It directly affects the building located at 115 S. LaSalle Street, correcting the address from the original draft to ensure accuracy. The legislation is a commemorative resolution that does not change laws or create new programs, but rather assigns a specific name to honor Jesse White. Once passed, the building will carry this new name on official records and signage.
