* The governor told reporters earlier today he plans to deliver his address in-person…
Speaker Welch announced on Thursday that House members will return to Springfield for legislative session next week.
“With the decline of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, we are ready to get back to Springfield while remaining cautious and vigilant in this pandemic,” said House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch. “Our goal is to be productive while also keeping everyone safe, so masking and social distancing policies will still be in place. I want to encourage everyone to get their vaccine and booster, and take advantage of the SHIELD testing opportunity on the Capitol complex.”
Session is scheduled for Tuesday, February 1st until Thursday, February 3rd.
The House is also happy to welcome Governor JB Pritzker to deliver his annual State of the State and Budget Address on Wednesday, February 2nd. As part of the ongoing effort to ensure the safety of those in attendance, there will be capacity limits within the chamber and the gallery will remain closed to the public. Guidelines for members of the media will be forthcoming.

Definitely missing the gallery and hanging out with the random cross section of humanity that descends on the Capitol during session.

I assume they’ll use the gallery for seating of members in order to fully social distance.
