After a turbulent end to the 2024 regular session of the Illinois General Assembly, Gov. J.B. Pritzker began signing some of the bills passed by both chambers. Of the 469 total bills passed this year, the governor has signed 10 so far. Notably, Gov. Pritzker signed the FY 2025 Budget (SB 251), FY 2025 BIMP (HB 4959), and Workers Compensation Omnibus (SB 1996) on June 5. He then signed the Revenue Omnibus (HB 4951), Medicaid Omnibus (SB 3268) and Bond Authorization Act of 2024 (HB 4582) on June 7.
The General Assembly has 30 days from the date of passage to send the remaining bills that passed to the governor. Upon receiving bills from the General Assembly, Gov. Pritzker has 60 days to sign, veto, or issue an amendatory veto for each bill. If the governor does not act on a bill within the 60-day timeframe, the bill automatically becomes law.
Following the 2024 election, the House and Senate will return to Springfield for a two-week fall veto session from November 12 to 14 and November 19 to 21.
