STILL NO TIMETABLE FOR A PROPOSED SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION ON GUN VIOLENCE AND ABORTION. 

THERE’S BEEN TALK ALL SUMMER ABOUT A SPECIAL SESSION TO FURTHER PRESERVE REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND TO POSSIBLY ADDRESS A BAN ON ASSAULT WEAPONS. GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER WAS RECENTLY ASKED FOR AN UPDATE.

OR ANY NEW LEGISLATION MAY NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THE SPRING WHEN LESS VOTES ARE REQUIRED FOR PASSAGE. THE GOVERNOR SAYS IT’S ABOUT TIMING.

GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYS WORKING GROUPS HAVE BEEN TACKLING THESE ISSUES IN HOPES OF PRODUCING VIABLE LEGISLATION.
