Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a $53.1 billion state budget for fiscal year 2025, which includes a $1.1 billion revenue and a child tax credit. Despite concerns of overspending, Pritzker emphasized the budget's focus on addressing real challenges and building for the future, urging optimism. Additionally, a judge in Springfield ruled unconstitutional a Pritzker-backed election law that would have prevented Republicans from slating legislative candidates for the November general election in contests where they had not fielded a contender in the March primary. The court issued a permanent injunction against the law, which had been criticized for aiding Democrats.
