Havent heard anything, but with everything else going on in the state, the bill is probably barely on his radar yet, if at all. Hopefully it just goes through as easily as it seems to have been. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Thanks for the update. 5/17 And another day without bill getting called. Yet, all republicans were present...starting to wonder if there is opposition and they are working on votes or D's are refusing to call it. Thankfully there was time for the entire House to rise and sing 3 verses of the Illinois state song.

After debate and opposition from usuals like Rep Willis, the bill passes 61 - 45 - 2. On to the governors office.

I dont know about him signing it but cant think of a reason why not unless there is a mass gang attack with autos before then! Bill hasnt been sent to him yet from what I can tell on the bill status page. I guess they have 30 days after passage to send it to governor and then his 60 days starts once he receives it. As best I can tell there have been near 100 bills passed by both houses, many this month coming to the end of the spring session.

...and we are still waiting for the bill to be sent to the governor for his consideration.
edit 6/3 now 490 bills passed this session. 2 of those sent to governor. 1 vetoed, other waiting action. Auto knife, Tannerite nor unlawful use of an elephant bills have made it to his desk yet. |

I don't quite get why it is taking so long to send it to his office though. I did read where a bill send delay can be a strategy to allow extra time to lobby his office for a particular outcome, but in spite of passing House by only 2 votes, there was not heated debate (at least compared to a typical knife/gun/weapons bill) and the Senate was unanimous, so...

I saw in the Tribune today that 500 bills were sent Rauners desk for signature this could be one of them. Among the silly bills are naming shelter dogs and cats as Illinois official pet, if Illinois needed an official pet I would have preferred the garter snake an animal native to Illinois. Also there is a bill banning elephants from traveling shows like circuses, something I oppose, a circus isn`t a circus without elephants.
