Business groups urge veto of measure they say invites out-of-state lawsuits thecentersquare.com/illinois/artic…
We sent a letter to @GovPritzker today urging him to veto SB328, which would open the floodgates for lawsuit abuse in Illinois: “If this is signed, you might as well post ‘Closed for Business’ signs along the state lines because that is the exact chilling message job creators…
“@LAGovJeffLandry is not only potentially opening the floodgates for litigation, but is further cementing his own reputation as an ally of the trial bar and billboard attorneys responsible for the state’s overwhelming culture of lawsuit abuse.” #JudicialHellholes® #lalege…
Gov. Landry’s Last-Minute Amendment to Worsen Lawsuit Abuse #lagov #lalege #stoplawsuitabuse #jobsnotlawsuits atra.org/2025/06/05/lan…

Last-ditch efforts to make Illinois the lawsuit capital of the country continue with less than 12 hours left before adjournment. The IL House just tacked on similar language to SB 328 and sent it back to the Senate for concurrence. #twill #JudicialHellholes®
“With this last-minute amendment, S.B. 26 is now one of the single worst pieces of legislation, nationwide, that we have seen this year. This would open the floodgates in Illinois to lawsuits from around the country.” #twill atra.org/2025/05/30/las…
"ATRA noted that powerful House Speaker @SpeakerWelchIL had signed on as one of the sponsors of the legislation and that Welch...now stands as Illinois’ top recipient of trial lawyer’s campaign donations." #twill
Business leaders are warning IL Dems not to ram thru new law that would open IL state courts to lawsuits from throughout the U.S., further cementing IL's anti-business, pro-trial lawyer reputation legalnewsline.com/cook-county-re…
