Hundreds of Bills Passed During the Spring Session

During their spring session, Illinois legislators passed more than 650 bills out of both chambers. If there’s not a procedural hold placed on the bill, which is rare, they have 30 days to send them to the governor’s desk. The governor then, per the constitution, has 60 calendar days to review the measures and either sign or veto them. If he does nothing within that time, the measure becomes law.
