Fall Veto Session Begins Today

By Greg Halbleib Oct 14, 2025 | 5:18 AM

State lawmakers return to Springfield today as the General Assembly convenes for the annual fall veto session for three days this week followed by another three days on October 28 through 30.

Lawmakers are expected to deal with several issues, including public transportation and energy reform, which were left unresolved in the spring.

Also at the front of lawmakers’ minds are immigration raids, protests and possible deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago without the governor’s approval.
