概要

 Illinois lawmakers returned to Springfield this week ahead of the February 6 bill filing deadline, with the Senate in session for three of four weeks to debate priorities like affordability, public safety, and government accountability, according to State Senator Sally Turner[2]. In Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order putting ICE on notice amid tensions over law enforcement, while President Trump touted historic low crime rates; the Illinois Accountability Commission is gathering evidence for potential prosecutions, as reported by The Center Square[1]. Meanwhile, over a dozen AI-related bills, including the AI Public Safety and Child Protection Transparency Act, were introduced in Springfield[10].

On the economic front, Quantum Machines announced plans to establish operations in Chicago as part of the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park, bolstering the state's quantum leadership and promising high-paying jobs, per the Illinois Department of Commerce[3]. The state enacted 2026 tax changes, including federal conformity, credit extensions, sales tax hikes in Cook County by 0.25% for transit funding starting mid-2026, and future toll increases, according to Grant Thornton[7]. Nuclear energy gained momentum with policy shifts lifting a long moratorium, positioning Illinois for data center-driven growth[11].

Communities are gearing up for education votes, as Ball-Chatham School District holds meetings on a March 17 referendum for $110 million in repairs to roofs, HVAC, and labs, adding about $145 yearly for average homeowners, NPR Illinois reports[4]. Environmental advocates push for stronger protections on the Mahomet Aquifer against carbon pipelines amid a statewide construction pause expiring in July[8]. Governor Pritzker announced Illinois joining the WHO's Global Outbreak Alert Network independently[9][13].

No major recent weather events were reported.

Looking Ahead: Watch the bill deadline fallout, school referendums, commission reports on aquifer safety by 2027, and quantum park expansions for thousands of jobs.
