Next Hearing Set in GOP Lawsuit Challenging Illinois Bill Over Business Impact, Procedural Violations

SPRINGFIELD – Another status hearing has been set for a challenge to a measure statehouse Republicans say will be bad for Illinois’ business climate. Republican leaders sued the House Speaker and Senate President for alleged violations of the three readings rules on a bill opponents say will increase frivolous litigation in Illinois. The next status hearing is July 15 in Sangamon County. Democratic leaders are set to respond to a separate lawsuit challenging the budget on alleged three readings violations by July 14. A hearing in that case is set for later this month.
