One of the new rules that the Illinois House pushed through on Wednesday includes setting term limits for party leaders including the Speaker of the House and the Minority Leader. The change is being pushed through after former Speaker of the House, Mike Madigan, held the position for 36 years. 

Another rule is that all bills are guaranteed to be assigned to a committee, but for Republican Representative Mark Batinick, that isn’t enough. He wants more notice about which bills will be up for discussion and that it is available to the public. 

Representative Lindsey Lapointe of Chicago says she’s pleased that another change got pushed through—remote committee hearings. 

Legislators met on Wednesday for a one-day session.
