Lawmakers pass 650 bills on to governor
During their spring session, Illinois legislators passed more than 650 bills out of both chambers.
If there’s not a procedural hold placed on the bill, which is rare, they have 30 days to send them to the governor’s desk.
The governor then, per the constitution, has 60 calendar days to review the measures and either sign or veto them.
If he does nothing within that time, the measure becomes law.
Unfinished energy bill could bring lawmakers back to Springfield
Illinois state lawmakers aren’t done yet.
They could come back soon to deal with a possible energy bill that will impact major elements of the state’s energy grid.

Mothers work hard, and for the past year have worked harder than ever to keep their kids well fed, in clean clothes, motivated, caught up in school and safe from a worldwide pandemic.
But this Motherâs Day, moms across Illinois are also worried their kids will lose access to life-changing educational opportunities because of scholarship cuts Gov. J.B. Pritzker is pushing in his latest budget proposal. Instead of showing his appreciation for our mothersâ sacrifices in these unprecedented times, Pritzker proposes cutting scholarships for low- and middle-income families, the costs of which will disproportionately fall on mothers.
