The Illinois House voted to pass the rules for how the legislature will run itself for the next two years. But Republicans took issue with a few of the procedures.
Representative Ed Sullivan from Mundelein wants to extend the time period that information is posted online before legislators can debate a bill. The rules require only a one-hour notice before a hearing.
"I want to talk a little bit about the voice of the public, those that we serve, and what their voice is within the rules, and their ability to have more transparency."
But a leading Democrat says the posting requirements provide plenty of time.
Republicans also wanted to limit what lame-duck legislators can vote on. Democrats, though, used their super-majority status to push through the rules on a partisan roll call.
