Illinois proposes a constitutional amendment requiring the General Assembly to pass the state budget before considering other bills.

The proposed amendment to the Illinois Constitution, introduced by the 104th General Assembly, mandates that the General Assembly must pass a bill containing the state budget and present it to the Governor before considering any other bill. This constitutional change aims to prioritize the state budget in the legislative process, ensuring that budgetary matters are addressed before other legislative business. The amendment will be subject to a vote by the state's electors at the next general election occurring at least six months after the resolution's adoption.
