Illinois State Senator Bill Cunningham and Representative Marcus Evans have introduced a bill aimed at reducing energy bills in the state and setting a 15GW energy storage deployment target.
House Bill 3758 (HB3758) has been read into the record for the first time and referred to the assignments committee, early in the process of becoming a law in Illinois.
The bill will have to be assigned to a substantive committee where it will be voted on, read into the record for a second time, read into the record for a third time, and voted on to be sent to the second house. In the second house it will go through a similar voting process before being sent to governor JB Pritzker, who can veto, veto with amendments or sign the bill into law.
It’s worth noting that the bill could be stalled at several points in the process for further amendments and refusal to agree with the amendments made.
