Lawmakers returned to the Capitol on April 14 as the Illinois House resumed its legislative session, marking the beginning of a final six-week period before spring adjournment at the end of May.
This period is important because it serves as a deadline week in which bills must advance by week’s end to continue through the legislative process. Lawmakers are expected to have a busy schedule with floor debates and votes on various pieces of legislation.
Representative Brad Stephens will participate alongside his colleagues in reviewing and debating bills presented on the House Floor. The upcoming days are anticipated to involve significant floor action due to legislative deadlines.
Stephens, a Republican, has represented Illinois’s 20th House District since his election in 2019, when he succeeded Michael P. McAuliffe according to Ballotpedia.
Constituents from Rep. Stephens’s district can follow proceedings by watching live coverage of the session at ilga.gov.
