Senate debate over assault weapons and tax shifts in Illinois
The Illinois Senate moved toward a vote on restricting semiautomatic assault weapons with a proposal by Sen. William Marovitz to ban possession with high capacity magazines while allowing current owners to keep existing weapons. The measure, supported by Lt. Gov. George Ryan, faces a later Senate vote as lawmakers also pursued an income tax increase aimed at funding property tax relief, debated a crime display bill tied to the Art Institute, and passed new game stamps and bike path funding measures.
