New Assembly Rules End Terror of Speakers and Committees
The forty-eighth general assembly faces a sweeping change as new rules grant the majority of the quorum power to prevail, eliminating the speaker and committee chairs’ feared influence over bills. The rules committee proposes radical departures to allow open determination by the full house, aiming to streamline legislation and reduce gatekeeping. Further, State Superintendent Francis Q Blair urges uniform school opportunities through restoring a two mill tax and expanding state aid for agriculture, commerce, and domestic trades to balance districts across Illinois.
