State of Illinois

The State of Illinois is the government of the state of Illinois, serving millions of residents through a statewide network of agencies and departments. Its remit spans infrastructure and transportation, healthcare, human services, public safety, natural resources, education and economic development. Operations extend across Chicago, Springfield and rural Illinois communities, within the broader Midwest region.

Services are delivered through a range of public-facing functions. These include motor vehicle and licensing services such as driver's license renewal; healthcare and human services, including benefits applications for families in need; economic development support for starting and growing a business in Illinois; and general information and resource access for residents. The stated objectives are responsive and transparent government, and continued improvement of service delivery to make it more accessible and efficient.

Work is carried out by public servants across multiple branches of government, in a service-oriented culture focused on accessibility and equity for all Illinoisans. Further information on agencies, services and employment is available at illinois.gov.
