The Illinois House of Representatives has returned to Springfield for a special session starting at noon today to consider urgent energy legislation and vote on the amendatory veto of Senate Bill 539 issued by Gov. JB Pritzker in August.
The Senate adopted the change on August 31, but the House rejected the change with a vote taken late in the evening after some members had left the session.
The bill expands state lobbyist registration requirements to the local level; prohibits all fundraising statewide during legislative sessions; expands revolving door restrictions; and requires certain consultants hired by a lobbyist or lobbying entity to register and report.
If the Amendatory Veto is accepted the bill will be effective January 1, 2022.
