On June 18, 2025, a call was made by members of the Illinois House and Senate Republican caucuses urging Governor Pritzker to veto Senate Bill 328. The legislation is criticized for allegedly benefiting trial lawyers at the cost of jobs and economic growth.
In addition to this appeal, litigation has been filed in Sangamon County court. The lawsuit aims to enforce the Illinois Constitution’s Three Readings Rule, which Republicans claim was violated when the Democratic Majority passed the proposal after midnight on the last day of session.
The statement emphasized that they are responding to demands from job creators, government watchdog groups, and constituents for greater transparency. It also stressed opposition to what they describe as "job-killing legislation."
The Republicans urge Governor Pritzker to veto SB328 as a demonstration of commitment not only to the people of Illinois but also to businesses worldwide, emphasizing their goal of promoting employment opportunities beyond just benefiting trial lawyers.
