Sangamon Co Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Over State Budget Bills
(Springfield, IL) — A Sangamon County judge is dismissing a lawsuit filed over state budget bills. Several Republican lawmakers sued House Speaker Chris Welch and Senate President Don Harmon in June, just days after the budget was approved by the General Assembly. The suit claimed that several bills that make up the budget violated the three-readings rule in the Illinois Constitution. The judge rejected the complaint, saying the bills met all procedural requirements.
