House cancels next week’s session

* From Jessica Basham…
Good afternoon, members and staff –
First, please note that the session days scheduled for next week (Tuesday, April 28 through Thursday, April 30) are cancelled. The deadline for House Bills out of Committees, which had previously been rescheduled for April 30, will be extended to Thursday, May 7. The 3rd Reading deadline for House Bills, which had previously been rescheduled for May 8, will be extended to Friday, May 15.
Attached you’ll find a summary of yesterday’s call hosted by the White House, as well as some recent guidance from FEMA concerning the use of PPE in non-healthcare settings. I think essential businesses that are not healthcare-related will find this instructive.
Summer of White House call is here. FEMA guidance is here.
Any guesses when they’ll come back?

That’ll put an end to the fair maps discussion and vote… that didn’t have 71 or 36…

One or two days starting no earlier than May 20th and not in the capitol.

Late June, early July.

There was no debate on the fair maps issue that 67% of Illinois s residents support

They are non-essential - better to have them stay at home

One day back to close business and gavel.

I think one of the chambers needs to be in three days. They didn’t lob over any approp bills to the other chamber yet so a bill needs to be read 3 times in each.
I say they come back May 26th and will do perfunctory video hearings beforehand.

May 29 in order to get a budget passed. At least a temporary one through either September or December, then wait until after stay-at-home has ended in order to try to pass the rest of the FY21 budget.

I have to agree with Donnie Elgin. These folks are the definition of non-essential.
