ANALYSIS OF NEW FOIA LEGISLATION |
During the last week of the Legislative Session, the General Assembly pushed through sweeping changes to the State’s sunshine laws. On the evening of May 27, 2009, Senate Bill 189 was amended on the House floor. House Amendment 2 was adopted by a voice vote without a hearing by a substantive committee. The bill was then immediately moved to 3rd reading, where it passed the House with 116 votes for the bill and 0 against it. The bill was sent to the Senate that same evening. The following day, the Senate Executive Committee heard the bill. During the approximately 30 minutes of testimony, the Illinois Municipal League was afforded about two minutes to testify before the Committee unanimously approved the bill by a consent vote of 11-0 and sent it to the Senate floor. That same day, with little debate, the Senate approved the bill by a vote of 58 for and 1 against. The bill has now passed both Chambers of the General Assembly and will soon be sent to Governor Quinn for his consideration. Read More . . .
