In a blatant abuse of power, Senate President Don Harmon and House Speaker Chris Welch pushed through SB 328 with zero transparency and total disregard for the law. They used a bait-and-switch maneuver pushing through an entirely new special interest bill in the final hours of session violating Illinois’ constitutional Three Readings Rule and blocking public scrutiny.
It was a deliberate scheme to sneak a massive gift to trial lawyers across the finish line in the middle of the night while hard-working Illinois families were sleeping.
SB 328 is a disaster for Illinois:
Republican leaders have already filed a lawsuit to defend our Constitution and protect Illinois families. But Governor Pritzker can stop this now.
Add your name to this petition today and tell Governor Pritzker to veto SB 328. He can do the right thing and prevent this lawsuit from being necessary. Illinois deserves better.
