The Illinois constitution only requires the GA to be sworn in on the second Wednesday of January. It does not require it to be done by certain time.

Did Chris Welch ever pay off the judgment for this that the judge put back onto him in his personal capacity?

Rich can we get a what’s in the bill or something that explains the Police Reform Bill? I’m seeing a lot of people posting about it on Facebook but can’t make heads or tails of the thing.

Constitution > house rule. I have never known the house democrats to waive a house rule when it did not suit them /s

Here’s your two-step solution: 1) Get off Facebook; 2) Search this site and do a Google News search.

The 102nd GA is already about a half-hour old and there’s already 144 House Bills filed (and counting).
- Larry Saunders - Wednesday, Jan 13, 21 @ 2:11 pm:
The Criminal Justice bill was modified. I’m also looking for the specific wording as passed rather than the summation of the whole on the GA website.
