In Springfield, a review of the General Assembly’s website, ilga.gov, shows 1,600 bills moved through committee last week ahead of a legislative deadline. Of those, 1,022 moved in Senate committees Thursday. While the deadline marks a milestone each legislative session, as well as the end of the road for some bills that fail to gain popular support, there are multiple avenues for reviving a bill’s language later in the process.
In fact, hundreds of the bills that moved last week were so-called “shell bills,” which can quickly be amended to include substantive bill language that otherwise may not have passed by the deadline. As well, sponsors of many of the measures advanced this week noted their proposals will be amended as the session progresses.
