When the Illinois General Assembly reconvenes on January 4, 2025, it will enter a "lame duck" session. This period allows outgoing elected officials to vote on new legislation before their successors take office. Concerns have been raised about the potential for controversial bills to be passed during this time.

Representative Dan Caulkins has voiced his opposition to the actions of Democrats during these sessions. He stated, "Some of the worst bills passed by Democrats have come through during lame duck and we expect much of the same this time around." Caulkins emphasized that "Illinois residents deserve better," urging constituents to "Say No to Lame Duck Democrats."

The upcoming session is anticipated with scrutiny as lawmakers prepare to address pending legislative matters. The debate over what should be prioritized continues among state representatives.
