Illinois lawmakers returning to deal with $7B budget hole, COVID-19 fallout – Illinois Policy

Special session differs from regular session in that only certain topics can be addressed. This means legislation unrelated to those topics may not be called, debated or voted on. The seven topics at hand are: COVID-19-related legislation, state budget, economic recovery and infrastructure projects, progressive income tax constitutional amendment, sunset clauses, the 2020 general election, and a hospital assessment program.
