概要

 Illinois' 2026 legislative session kicked off today with the Senate convening in Springfield, while the House follows on January 20, according to the NRA-ILA. Governor JB Pritzker continues his bold media strategy, needling President Trump amid 2028 speculation, daring him on MSNBC to "come and get me" over federal tensions, as detailed by WGLT. Chicago and the state have sued the Trump administration to curb ICE agents' roving patrols and crowd control tactics without probable cause, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul stated.

Over 250 new laws took effect January 1, including bans on discriminatory AI use in workplaces via House Bill 3773 and enhanced CPA licensure pathways, per the Illinois CPA Society. A controversial energy law signed by Pritzker eliminates electric rate protections, potentially hiking bills to fund experimental programs, Senator Don DeWitte warned. The legislature eyes federal program changes ahead of Pritzker's February 18 budget address, with IVCA noting impacts on state spending.

Economically, Illinois ranks number one in the Midwest and third nationally for workforce development, fueled by 10 credit upgrades since 2021 and $13 billion in 2025 investments, Business Facilities reported. A $24 million funding opportunity opened for six Manufacturing Training Academies at community colleges targeting AI, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing, GovMarketNews announced. Small businesses face tariff strains but push for capital access and workforce policies, Small Business Majority urged. Rebuild Illinois infrastructure spending hit $2.2 billion last fiscal year.

Community efforts include AASA grants to Posen-Robbins School District for improvements and $193 million federal rural health funds, though short of Medicaid cuts, per state reports. No major recent weather events reported.

Looking Ahead: Watch Pritzker's budget speech, MTA applications due April 30, and potential anti-gun pushes as the session runs through May.
