The little-known Rules that control the legislative process in Illinois were voted on today in the Illinois House of Representatives.  Adopting a set of procedural rules to govern the House for the next two years is one of the most important votes a legislator will cast.

The Rules for the 104th General Assembly were drafted by the Democrat supermajority with no input from the Republican minority. These Rules will govern the House of Representatives for the next two years.  House Republicans did propose reasonable changes that would increase accountability and transparency, however the proposal was rejected by the supermajority.
