First Week of the Illinois Fall Veto Session Ends Without Much Action

First Week of the Illinois Fall Veto Session Ends Without Much Action

October 20, 2025

The first week of the Illinois veto session primarily consisted of closed-door meetings

Illinois legislators returned to Springfield on October 14-16 to consider a number of issues—such as energy policy, tax increases, and public transit changes—but adjourned without voting on any of them.

Most of the business of the week was conducted in closed-door meetings with legislative leaders briefing their caucuses on potential legislation.

State legislators will return to Springfield October 28-30 to resume work and take legislative action on a number of these issue areas.
