CORRECTION!
My understanding of the law-making system in the state of Illinois is somewhat lax, evidently.
Originally, I thought that the governor had 60 days *after the passage of the bill* to sign it. The truth is the governor has 60 days *after it is delivered to the governor's office* to sign the bill.
Hence, Sir Rodney has until 8/29/05 to sign SB 475 and make it law.
I would look for a large ceremony somewhere around Madison/St. Claire counties sometime in the next 10 days or so. The next question is how long it will take before the ITLA challenges this in court? Do they risk embarrassing Rod before the 2006 election? Or do they even care now that he has backed this bill (just to look good prior to the 2006 election.)
Tick tock, tick tock.
