Government Affairs Roundup for 12.21.22
“Your Timely Roundup of Local, State, and Federal Updates”
Chamber members:
The Senate passed a short-term funding bill to avert a government shutdown last Thursday that punted the would-be Friday deadline through this week as negotiators raced to patch together a larger government funding deal for fiscal year 2023.
The Senate voted 71-19 to pass the continuing resolution (CR), sending the legislation to President Biden for approval after it passed the House the night before on a vote of 224-201. More details in full below.
There are also a number of items to take note of that go into effect at the start of 2023. Make sure you’re up to date on One Day Rest in Seven and Expanded Bereavement, in addition to the minim wage going up to $13 as we begin a new year. Don’t forget as well about Will County ARPA money too (details below).
This will be the last update for 2022, so thanks to all that consume this information on a weekly basis. Special thanks to our sponsors CITGO and Silver Cross Hospital. Have a very merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year!
