Bishop also reviews the total number of bills the House and Senate passed out of their respective chambers. One measure that didn’t advance before the deadline was the Illinois Homeschool Act.

And, Bishop provides an update on the Trump administration’s motion for summary judgment against the state of Illinois’ migrant sanctuary policies and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker criticism of federal funding being withheld for violence intervention.
