Evidence

Division C appropriated $560,000,000 for payment to the Legal Services Corporation to carry out the Legal Services Corporation Act of 1974, including basic field programs, inspector general, oversight, self-help/IT, pro bono innovation, and loan repayment assistance accounts.

Congress enacted FY2024 Legal Services Corporation funding at $560 million, showing the LSC remained funded during Durbin's later Senate service.

Section 1101(a)(2) continued FY2025 funding for projects and activities under the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024, and section 1101(c) set the level as amounts appropriated in the referenced FY2024 acts unless otherwise changed.

The FY2025 full-year continuing appropriations law generally carried forward the FY2024 CJS funding structure, including LSC funding from Public Law 118-42, though the law was a broad continuing resolution rather than a Durbin-specific LSC measure.

On the cloture motion for H.R. 1968, the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, the result was 62-38 and Durbin (D-IL) is listed as Yea.

Durbin voted to advance the FY2025 continuing appropriations bill that carried forward FY2024 CJS funding, which included LSC. This is concrete procedural support, but not a clean final passage vote for LSC funding.

On final passage of H.R. 1968, the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, the bill passed 54-46; Durbin (D-IL) is listed as Nay.

Durbin ultimately voted against final passage of the FY2025 continuing appropriations bill, so the record is mixed for that vehicle despite his earlier cloture vote. This prevents treating the promise as fully delivered while he remains in office.

Assessments

partial later_term A for effort

Durbin materially supported Legal Services Corporation funding during later Senate service by voting for the FY2024 consolidated appropriations bill that included $560 million for LSC, and by voting to advance the FY2025 continuing appropriations vehicle that carried forward that funding structure. However, the promise was open-ended for his remaining time in Congress, he remains in office, and his FY2025 record is mixed because he voted against final passage of the broad continuing appropriations bill. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
