There is a DA proposal in Illinois (state level). The Chicago DA is a campaign promise from Emanuel.

Here’s what the Illinois DREAM Act Would Do:

1- Good information. This bill would encourage counselors and officers receive regular training regarding educational opportunities for immigrant youths.

2-Education Access. Establish a privately-funded Illinois DREAM Fund, administered by a volunteer state commission, to make scholarships available to undocumented students at no cost to taxpayers. The bill would also open up college savings programs and prepaid tuition programs to all Illinois residents, so that the families of DREAM students will be better able to pay for tuition.

3- Driver’s Certificates. To enable DREAM students to get to and from school, the Illinois DREAM Act would enable them to get driver’s certificates.

4- Illinois DREAM Commission. In addition to administering and fundraising for the Illinois DREAM Fund, this commission would monitor implementation of other parts of this law and research the needs of DREAM youths as they make their way through college.
