Democrats have scheduled a "lame duck" session for the General Assembly to commence on January 4 in Springfield. This session allows outgoing elected officials to vote on new legislation before the next General Assembly convenes.

Historically, significant and sometimes controversial bills have been passed during these sessions. There is an expressed sentiment that Illinois residents deserve more transparency and accountability in this process.
