The Illinois General Assembly’s annual Fall Veto Session is approaching, scheduled for November 12-14 and November 19-21. While traditionally focused on addressing legislation vetoed by the Governor, this year there are no vetoes on the agenda. However, the Veto Session also provides an opportunity to revisit legislative items that were left unresolved or not addressed during the spring session.
If lawmakers decide to introduce new bills or reconsider previously unpassed legislation, they will need a three-fifths majority vote in both chambers for immediate effect.
For more information on the legislation passed earlier this year, check out the Senate Republican “At a Glance” document, which offers a summary of key measures approved during the spring session.
