The Illinois General Assembly adjourned the 2023 regular session in the early morning hours on May 27, 2023. Session was originally scheduled to adjourn on May 19 but was extended a few additional days due to delays in the budget process. 28 new members joined the General Assembly after the November 2022 election. House members filed over 4,000 bills, and Senate members filed over 2,500 bills, making for a very busy session.
At the end of session, the General Assembly passed a $50.599B budget, BIMP, revenue omnibus, Medicaid omnibus, procurement omnibus, energy omnibus, elections omnibus, property tax omnibus, TIF extension omnibus, sunset extension omnibus, issued $700M in new capital development bonds, created a state health benefits exchange, and allowed the Department of Insurance to reject private health insurance rates deemed unreasonable. A summary of key legislation from the 2023 regular session of the Illinois General Assembly is below. Legislators will return to Springfield for a fall veto session from October 24 to 26 and November 7 to 9.
