Jeremy Gorner
Summary
The Illinois General Assembly concluded its spring session by passing Democratic-backed bills targeting immigration enforcement (barring federal detention centers near schools, parks, homes, and churches), electric vehicle regulations (e-bike rules), and voting rights. However, several major proposals stalled, including a prescription drug affordability board, a police quota ban, and the Chicago Bears stadium tax break package. The session ran into overtime as lawmakers worked through a busy legislative agenda.
