Key Bill Actions in Illinois

Plural's Key Bill Actions help isolate the most important activity in the legislative process.

Plural will now highlight Key Bill Actions in Illinois – this is a way to isolate bill activity we know is most important to determining a bill’s current status or where it’s likely headed next, and separating these moments from the noise to better gauge where your issues are.

These Key Actions will appear on Bill Result Lists when viewing in Table View.

Plural will highlight the following milestones as “Key Actions” in Illinois:

When the bill action First Reading occurs in either chamber
When the bill action Second Reading occurs in either chamber
When the bill action Third Reading occurs in either chamber, including a vote count
When a bill action Re-Referred to Assignments or Re-Referred to Rules occur in either chamber
When bill actions related to Veto events occur in either chamber

Note: Determining what’s highlighted as a “Key” Bill Action above is based partially on how the Illinois General Assembly website will bold events in a bill’s “Actions” history.
