Senate cancels in-person February session days, will hold committee hearings online
The Illinois Senate will move online for February, conducting virtual committee hearings in an effort to both maximize public health and safety and embrace available technology.
The early part of any new session is dominated by committee action. Given the ongoing pandemic, it makes sense to utilize the Senate’s remote committee meeting authority to continue doing the work of the people.

We anticipate hearings being announced soon on key issues in addition to all standing committees having the opportunity to meet online during February.
