>>> ILLINOIS LAWMAKERS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE OFF FOR SUMMER BREAK.

INSTEAD, THEY'RE SET TO RETURN TO THE CAPITAL THIS WEEK TO TAKE CARE OF UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

AMANDA VINICKY JOINS US NOW.

WHEN AND WHY ARE LAWMAKERS GOING BACK WHEN THEY HAD HOPED THAT FRIDAY WOULD BE THE LAST DAY?

>> LAWMAKERS ARE GOING TO BE RECONVENING AT THE CAPITOL ON WEDNESDAY.

THIS TIME THEY ARE GOING TO PASS A BUDGET.

BY GOLLY, THEY MEAN IT.

PASSING A BUDGET IS ARGUABLY THE SINGLE LARGEST TASK FOR LAWMAKERS.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BY FRIDAY.

HENCE, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S RETURN.

>> WHY COULDN'T THEY GET IT DONE BY THAT ARBITRARY DEADLINE, AND WHAT IS EXPECTED?

>> DEMOCRATS WHO CONTROL THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY SAY THAT NEGOTIATIONS WERE HAPPENING.

THEY JUST DIDN'T FINISH.

AND SO THEY ARE STILL COMING TAG.

MAIN POINT OF CONTENTION IS HOW MUCH THE STATE CAN AFFORD TO SPEND ON HEALTHCARE FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.

IF GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER AND LEADERS HOLD TRUE, WHILE ILLINOIS ISN'T IN TOTAL PENNY PINCHING, THE HEALTHCARE PROGRAM EITHER NEEDS TO BE CURTAILED OR CUTS WOULD HAVE TO CUT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

AS FOR WHAT CHANGES, THE FRIDAY DEADLINE, THAT WAS ALWAYS AN EARLY THREAT.

>> SO WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT?

>> THAT IS WHEN IT GETS TOUGHER, PARIS TO PASS A BILL COME JUNE.

IT REQUIRES A SUPER MAJORITY VERSUS A SIMPLE ONE.

GRANTED, DEMOCRATS HOLD HISTORIC NUMBER OF SEATS, SO THE PRESSURE, NOT AS INTENSE AS WOULD BE UNDER DIVIDED GOVERNMENT, BUT IT IS STILL A DATE THAT IS CIRCLED IN BIG RED MARKER ON THE CALENDARS OF STATE LEADERS.

NOT GETTING IT DONE BY THEN WOULD BE REALLY A BLACK EYE FOR LAWMAKERS.

>> I DO SEEM TO REMEMBER A VERY PESKY EXCHANGE LAST WEEK ABOUT BATHROOMS.

WHAT ELSE DID LAWMAKERS DO?

>> BILLS GALORE ON BATHROOMS AND BEYOND.

PRITZKER IS GOING TO BE ASKED TO SIGN INTO LAW MEASURES THAT WOULD PAVE THE WAY FOR AN AIRPORT, ESTABLISH A STATEWIDE LITERACY PROGRAM, GIVE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THE ABILITY TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION FOR THE PRICE GAUGING OF PRESCRIPTIONS, BUT ALSO ONE THAT GIVES VICTIMS THE ABILITY TO FILE A LAWSUIT.

DOXING INVOLVES INFORMATION ABOUT SOMEONE ONLINE WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT.

>> I KNOW THAT LAST ONE YOU MENTIONED, LOT OF CIVIL LIBERTIES GROUPS ARE WORRIED ABOUT.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT AI AND THAT ASPECT OF IT IN A BIT.

BUT BESIDES THE BUDGET, WHAT ELSE?

>> THERE IS A BILL WORTHY OF MENTION IN TERMS OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH.

ONE OF THOSE ELEMENTS DEALS WITH ILL'S LAW FOR BIOMETRIC INFORMATION.

FINGERPRINTS.

BUSINESSES SAY THE LAW GOES TOO FAR AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR IT TO BE SCALED DOWN.

>> FEDERAL 2,000 CASES THAT CAN BE FILED OR SETTLED.

NOT A SINGLE CASE, NO DATA BREACHES, NO LOST INFORMATION.

BILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE ALREADY BEEN PAID OUT WITH MORE ON THE WAY.

>> A BILL THAT SURFACED FRIDAY, INSTEAD OF CURTAILING, BUSINESSES SAY DOES IT THE OPPOSITE AND WOULD MAKE IT MORE EXPENSIVE.

OTHER MEASURES WOULD REGULATE RED LIGHT CAMERAS, GET ILLINOIS MOVING TO A RANKED CHOICE VOTING PROGRAM, AND REGULATE CANNABIS BUSINESSES.

PARIS, THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT HAS TO HAPPEN BY THAT DEADLINE.

LEGISLATORS HAVE TO GET DONE DRAWING THE BOUNDARIES.
