  • Legislative Ratings
    About the Illinois Chamber of Commerce Legislative Ratings The ratings are based on legislators’ votes on the key business legislation of the 100th General Assembly as determined by staff and the Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee. The votes in the Senate and House are selected based on their impact on the business community. None of the bills used in the report are weighted, as there were an adequate number of legislation voted on during this General Assembly. Legislators were given a positive mark (+) on their scorecard for bills in which they voted in favor with the Illinois Chamber and were given a negative mark (-) on their scorecard for bills in which they voted against the Illinois Chamber. Legislators who voted present (P), were absent (A) or took a ‘no vote’ (NV) on a bill in which the Illinois Chamber supported were also given a negative mark (-) on their scorecard. Contrary, legislators who voted present, were absent or took a ‘no vote’ on a bill in which the Illinois Chamber opposed, were not counted for or against their final rating. Legislators who were either not a member at the time of the vote (NA) or were excused from their absence (E) during the vote were not counted for or against their final score. Members who did not meet the required number of votes were not given a rating (NE). In cases where more than one roll call was taken on a bill, the vote that best demonstrates support for employers’ vital interests was chosen. If employers are to change the culture in Springfield, they must educate themselves on the record of their representatives and hold them accountable for it.

    ICCTA Government Relations and Public Policy Report February 8, 2021 By Jessica Nardulli, ICCTA Legislative Counsel CHANGES IN FEBRUARY SESSION DATES AND DEADLINES This week, the Illinois General Assembly’s spring session has been operating as it has every year – the chambers are organizing committees (see below lists) and bills are being filed, albeit slowly. So far, 706 House bills and 133 Senate bills have been filed. But session is about to enter uncharted territory – considering legislation in virtual committees. The Senate will move online for February, conducting virtual committee meetings for the previously scheduled session days of February 9-11 and 16-18. Senate committee posting notices and hearings will be available on https://www.ilga.gov/senate/committees/default.asp. The Senate has also pushed back drafting and filing deadlines, postponing the drafting deadline for Senate bills from February 5 to February 11, and postponing the filing deadline from February 19 to February 26. That chamber’s next scheduled session date is March 2. The House will convene in person on Wednesday, February 10, to approve the House Rules, which we expect will enable them to convene virtual committees. To accommodate legislator requests to be included in Phase 1B of the vaccination plan, Gov. JB Pritzker will make a special location available in Springfield for legislators to receive the first dose on February 9. The introduction deadline for House bills is still February 11. Please click here for a list of community college-related bills identified to date. *Gov. Pritzker will deliver his combined State of the State and Budget Address on February 17* LAME DUCK BILLS The 12 House bills that passed both houses during the January 2021 lame duck session were sent to Gov.
