IL Legislators Pass Massive Budget Early Saturday Morning

In the early morning hours on Saturday, Illinois Senate and House passed the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget and new tax benefit plan. The plan suspends the state’s 1% grocery tax for a year, freezes the Motor Fuel Tax for six months, and doubles the property tax rebate for households could receive up to $300 back. The Illinois Senate adjourned in the early hours on Sunday. This was the last time the Senate will meet in the chambers until 2025, due to renovations.
