From State Senator Don DeWitte:
Legislators have been back in their home districts since the beginning of June, but this week we return to Springfield for the first three days of the 2025 Fall Veto Session. Session days are scheduled this week for October 14, 15, and 16. We are also scheduled for fall session later this month on October 28, 29, and 30.
During this time the legislature can reconsider bills that received a partial or full veto by the Governor this year. It is also a time when lawmakers can take up issues that were not resolved during the regular session. Issues that could come before us for action this month include:
- Public transit fiscal cliff, additional transit reforms, and board reconfiguration (with associated tax hikes that include a delivery tax on almost any item delivered to your door)
- Energy (rates, capacity, environmental concerns, etc.)
- “Mega-Project” tax incentives (think Chicago Bears…)
It is possible that other issues may also be heard during these final session days of the year.
