Chicago, IL – While Bruce Rauner launches his re-election campaign from his motorcycle, state lawmakers are poised to address six bills of critical importance for working families in a two-week veto session:

• Government Transparency — HB 3649: The Debt Transparency Act, backed by Comptroller Susana Mendoza and vetoed by Bruce Rauner, will help taxpayers understand just how much they’re on the hook for after Bruce Rauner’s 736-day budget crisis.

• Collective Bargaining — SB 1905: Bruce Rauner continued his attack on Illinois working families when he vetoed the Collective Bargaining Freedom Act. The General Assembly will attempt to override the veto.

• Equal Pay — HB 2462: Lawmakers will have to override Rauner’s veto on the no wage history bill so that Illinois women have a level playing field with men when it comes to salary negotiations.

• Equal Rights Amendment — SJRCA 4: The state legislature will vote on ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment to the United State Constitution.

• Gun Dealer Licensing — SB 1657: Lawmakers will vote on The Gun Dealer Licensing Act, a critical piece of legislation that will help prevent those who shouldn’t have guns from getting them.

• Immigrant Rights — SB 32: The Illinois House will vote on a bill that passed with bipartisan support in the Senate and will help victims of crime and human trafficking to remain and work temporarily in the United States.

“For three years, Bruce Rauner has unleashed unparalleled damage across our state, decimating Illinois’ economy and social service infrastructure,” said JB Pritzker. “While Rauner is campaigning on a record that doesn’t exist, the General Assembly will attempt to undo his mess and move our state forward.”
