Tod Posted May 29, 2017 at 08:00 PM Share Posted May 29, 2017 at 08:00 PM Thanks for the reply! Wonder what's going to happen when the current legislative session ends? What happens if the current session ends and the bill has not been forwarded during the 30 day time limit? Does sending previously passed bills to governor automatically carry over the next session?

Tod Posted June 5, 2017 at 06:44 PM Share Posted June 5, 2017 at 06:44 PM Since llinois Lawmakers have adjourned their regular legislative session, what happens to this bill SB0607 that has been passed by both houses? I know Illinois law states legislature has 30 days to send bill to governor, who in turn has 60 days to sign or veto ... but does the "30 day count down clock" stop when legislature is not in session and restart in the next session? Have all the lights been turned off in Springfield or is there some clerk who hopefully works 40 hour weeks year round, getting bills ready to send the governor.

stm Posted June 5, 2017 at 07:48 PM Share Posted June 5, 2017 at 07:48 PM It is my understanding that the legislature has 30 days from the date the bill passed both houses to send it to the governor, regardless of the date the legislative session ends. There are still clerks working in Springfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedBystander Posted June 5, 2017 at 08:53 PM Share Posted June 5, 2017 at 08:53 PM Bill passed on the 18th and it is still in waiting to be sent status. But it is not alone. 490 bills passed this session. 2 have been sent to governor. 1 was vetoed and the other is awaiting action. Not sure why they would wait sending to him unless a strategy to lobby for some type of veto and that would surprise me in spite of Rep Willis fears of this bill.

cls74 Posted June 5, 2017 at 08:59 PM Share Posted June 5, 2017 at 08:59 PM (edited) They have not adjourned yet. Both chambers are in "Recess to the Call of the Chair". Mauserme stated shortly after recessing that they may be in session every Wednesday in the month of June. I am not sure when the announcement would be made were they to be in session this Wed. the 7th. It's why it's also imperative that we check in regularly throughout the summer/or until adjournment. They still have a chance at calling several bills, both for and against IC's position. Edited June 5, 2017 at 09:00 PM by cls74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauserme Posted June 6, 2017 at 05:19 PM Share Posted June 6, 2017 at 05:19 PM The "every Wednesday" seems to be a rumor that doesn't include tomorrow. There's no indication as of noon today that they intend to meet this Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazborgufen Posted June 12, 2017 at 10:08 PM Share Posted June 12, 2017 at 10:08 PM I'm not sure what is meant by "legal length" though. I The only issue with blades longer than 3 inches is if a person "Carries or possesses with intent to use the same unlawfully against another." The length itself isn't a crime.

Seems like they plan on using the full 30 days. Yeah, I'm getting nervous about that. Bill was passed by both houses on 5/18. Not holding out a lot of hope that it was be sent to the governor in the next four days. Wonder if that 30 day time frame is "calendar days" or "week days" or, God forbid, "Congress in session days!!!!" Also wonder what happens if bill isn't sent to governor during the 30 day deadline????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
