Illinois Campaign Finance Reform Task Force

Illinois Campaign Finance Reform Task Force

The Campaign Finance Reform Task force was created by Public Act 96-832, to conduct a thorough review of the implementation of campaign finance reform legislation in the State of Illinois, and the feasibility of implementing a mechanism of campaign finance regulation that would subsidize political campaigns in exchange for voluntary adherence to specified expenditure limitations.

Redistricting proposal advances to House floor

April 27, 2010

By JOHN GUIDROZ

A Democratic-backed redistricting plan is just one step away from legislative approval. But it still lacks the crucial support from Republicans in the Illinois House to clear that final step.

A House committee voted 10-7 Tuesday to move the plan, Senate Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment 121, to the House floor.

The measure would still let the legislature draw new maps first, but would change the steps in the redistricting process if lawmakers fail to pass a remap plan.
