Top Republicans are pushing back against the Governor making an emergency rule to be able to issue misdemeanors to businesses that ignore his stay at home orders.
JB Pritzker says the ticket is a needed tool that can be used to get businesses to comply. Senate GOP Leader Bill Brady doesn’t see it that and says the Governor has exceeded his authority and isn’t doing anything to help the growing divide in the state.
The rule could be addressed Wednesday by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules or JCAR. That committee is comprised of six Democrats and six republicans.
