.
Senate session for today has been cancelled, with the next session scheduled for 1/7/2019. The House will also convene on 1/7/2019, giving us a short and potentially interesting Lame Duck Session. The new, 101st General Assembly will begin on 1/9/2019, allowing the Legislature two (or 2 1/2) days to wrap up unfinished business. Governor Rauner will head the Executive Branch until 1/14/2019, meaning his veto pen will still be in play during the tight 2 day deadline before the start of the new GA. Bills cannot be held over - they will die and need to be refiled if not passed and signed into law by 1/9.

For today, the House is scheduled for 10:00 AM. The Senate is not in.

I'll be away from the forum most or all of the day. Please help keep them in line while I'm gone.



Next Days Scheduled

House: 1/7/2019
Senate: 1/7/2019

I just loaded up the house already in progress.

 

Curry is talking about legacies and blah blah blah, I assume today will be much like the senate where everyone slaps those outgoing members on the back with much mutual group gratification.

Curry has motioned for adjournment but, more recognitions, much to the dismay of the house chair person.

Do all current bills expire on January 9th including SB337, which received a motion to reconsider?

Yes that is my understanding

 

SB337 is already dead. It is being held in the Senate by Culerton and has not been sent to the Governor.

If it were sent to the governor he has 60 days to veto or sign.

He can sit on it and do nothing and the bill would just die.

At least, that is my understanding of the situation.

 

My fear is they intend to let this one die and pass an even more onerous bill now that they have a vetoproof majority and Pritzker in there.

I concur. I'm being told by someone that the motion will extend it beyond this general assembly into the next assembly, at which time it will be presented to the new governor. I told this person, that doesn't make any sense to me and to provide some documentation. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't the uninformed one in the conversation LOL
