From State Rep. Dan Ugaste:
August marks conclusion of the bill signing cycle following the 2023 spring session
Lawmakers have introduced 6,717 bills since taking their oaths of office in January 2023, with 4,129 bills filed in the House and 2,588 measures submitted to the Senate as of August 24, 2023.
The vast majority of these bills were filed for consideration in the 2023 spring session.
Only a bit more than 8% of these bills have become law as of the August conclusion of the 2023 spring session signing cycle.
When Gov. Pritzker concluded his 2023 summer bill-signing cycle, 561 measures had been signed as Public Acts.
More than six thousand Illinois legislative measures were either rejected by the General Assembly, ignored, or folded into other bills.
Some combination Public Acts contain the texts of two or more spring 2023 bills.
Some of the bills signed into law this summer went into effect immediately, while others have a “delayed effective date” that will swing into action on January 1, 2024, or some other date.
Some bills are being held over for further consideration in the fall veto session and beyond.
In some cases, a key stakeholder will ask that a bill be held to enable further discussion of a key issue. Persons looking for information on where any bill they may be following is in the process, or information on the effective date of a new law, can consult the Illinois General Assembly website.

“No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session.” Gideon John Tucker, 1866.
At least we are safe for the time being.
Fall veto session will be one to watch.
REMEMBER TO WATCH HOW THEY VOTE
NOT WHAT THEY SAY!
STOP FEEDING THE CORRUPTION AND POOR INEFFICIENT GOVERNMENT.
We have legislators in Springfield who voted to give government sector Unions more power by voting for Amendment 1, the so called Workers Rights? bill.
Constitutional changes are almost never a good thing. States need to be flexible to compete and adapt to changes in economic conditions.
The list of Amendment 1 votes.
Keicher = Yes
Ness = Yes
Wilcox = Yes
Dewitte = Yes
Syverson Yes
Reick = No!
Sosnowski = No!
Weber = No!
McConchie = NO!

Other notables

She didn’t get a Democrat opponent in 2022. Hmmmmmm…
Close your eyes and ears to what they say and print. It’s BULLSHIT
Open your eyes to how they vote!🇺🇸
Dr. Rob thanks for alerting us to the human mice, gnawing at our feet, pretending to be conservatives.
Shame on them all!
