When legislators return to Springfield on January 4, 2025, they will enter a "lame duck" session. This period allows elected officials who are not returning for the next General Assembly to vote on new laws. Critics argue that some controversial bills have been passed during these sessions.

The statement reads: "Some of the worst bills passed by Democrats have come through during lame duck and we expect much of the same this time around." The sentiment expressed is that Illinois residents deserve better legislative processes.

The call to action is clear: "Say No to Lame Duck Democrats."
