This Week in Illinois

Session Update

 

The House was in Springfield this week for three days of session. Nothing of note occurred on the floor throughout the week. As bill introduction deadlines have passed, the committee hearing schedule was the busiest so far. Expect next week to be very busy ahead of the Friday deadline.

 

The House and Senate will both return Tuesday, March 7th at 12 pm. 

 

The deadline for substantive House bills out of House committees and substantive Senate bills out of Senate committees is next Friday, March 10th. View the Senate session calendar for 2023. View the House 2023 calendar


Harmful Rideshare Bill Advances from House Judiciary 

 

HB 2231 modifies an act that has served as a national model since its inception a decade ago. This bill would make Illinois an outlier, out of step with every state legislature that has considered this issue. Misapplying common carrier standards, which would open Uber and Lyft to a brand new cottage lawsuit industry, would skyrocket insurance costs and, therefore, prices to end users.  


On Wednesday Sr. VP for Government Affairs Clark Kaericher spoke in opposition against HB2231 in the House Judiciary Committee. His words are as follows:


"Ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft are vital for the state’s economy. They create tens of thousands of well-paid jobs. They help both business travelers and tourists get around Illinois. More importantly, they are public safety tools, having kept thousands of potential drunk drivers off the roadways."


Autonomous Vehicles Working Group Update

 

Clark Kaericher is representing the Illinois Chamber as part of a working group concerned about restrictions on autonomous vehicles. 


The AV coalition met with the Governor’s legislative staff this week to discuss our concerns with the four autonomous vehicle bills that have been introduced. We shared our concern with measures that inhibit an industry as it tries to get off the ground and before the technology is ripe for regulation. The Governor’s staff expressed a desire to make Illinois an AV leader and to slow any measure that presents a threat to innovation and economic development.
