The House adjourned for the summer at about 5:00 Wednesday morning, shortly after the majority party pushed through a $53.1 billion state budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This budget, the largest in Illinois history, spans over 3,000 pages and is $2.6 billion more than last year’s enacted budget. Over the past four years, state expenditures have grown by more than $13 billion under the Democrat-controlled General Assembly and Governor JB Pritzker.
