mauserme Posted June 21, 2017 at 12:41 AM Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 at 12:41 AM Since the House adjourned on 5/31/2017, it has been in continuous session, if only in name and not in practice. June 21 will be the first day of session since May, with both bodies scheduled in response to Governor Rauner's call for a Special Session. The Special Session will be limited to legislation addressing the budget and, broadly, a variety of issues affecting the budget. The bills we follow are normally not included in these types of discussions. It is possible, however, that the legislature can recess the Special Session and convene a Regular Session in order to take up bills not included in the Governors proclamation. Bills included in that possibility are listed below, the most critical being SB1657 Gun Dealer Licensing. Unless events warrant, we'll keep discussion of the expected 10 Special Session days within this single thread. The House and Senate are scheduled for 12:00 Noon today.

mauserme Posted June 21, 2017 at 02:50 AM Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 at 02:50 AM Hey Carl.Filing witness slips only applies when bills are scheduled for a committee hearing. Right now very few are, and none are related to us. Because of that, this thread is patterned more like the daily Illinois General Assembly threads where we link to bills that might be debated on the floor of the House or Senate. If something does get scheduled in committee we'll issue a Call to Action too, asking for witness slips and/or phone calls as the situation warrants. And thanks for filing slips when they're needed.

skinnyb82 Posted June 21, 2017 at 04:13 PM Share Posted June 21, 2017 at 04:13 PM I do not foresee them passing a budget. But I do foresee more push for gun dealer licensing since, you know, the irrational (double) licensing of gun dealers is more important than paying your bills. It's for the kids, while the actual kids live in squalor due to the ILGA's inability to pass a balanced budget for nearly three years.

cls74 Posted June 21, 2017 at 08:22 PM Share Posted June 21, 2017 at 08:22 PM So do they get paid for each session they convened and adjourned? Laborous 22 minutes for the House. Madigan needs to be held accountable by his own party, yet it will never happen. That is one reason as to why I could never vote for Phelps should I ever have the opportunity. He's done good for 2A rights, but he is still a yes man to Madigan as they all are. Yet it is being pinned on Rauner, ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
