SPRINGFIELD– One of the big points which have upset Illinois Republicans is by the wayside — for now.
People opposed to Gov. JB Pritzker’s “stay home” and “stay out of business” orders have been upset since Friday, when he filed an emergency rule allowing local authorities to treat violations as a Class A misdemeanor. Now that lawmakers are back in town, the administration has repealed the rule so it can become a bill.
We agree with the intent when it comes to enforcing the governor’s ‘stay at home’ order,” State Sen. Bill Cunningham (D-Chicago) said. “We have had some disagreements about the exact process, but now we will be able to delve into those things here in the legislature. That’s the way the process is intended to work.”
Pritzker said he never intended to jail anyone, take their license, or close their business.
