General Assembly headed back to Springfield
Illinois lawmakers will return to Springfield Wednesday to resume a spring session interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.
However, with the specter of the pandemic still looming over the proceedings, it will be anything but a normal session. The House will relocate to the Bank of Springfield Center to conduct its business so that members and staff can maintain social distancing. The Senate plans to meet in the Capitol.
House members are being issued a lengthy list of instructions to follow, including getting tested for COVID-19 before returning, being advised they should travel alone and not bring family members with them and that they must wear masks when in session.
Both the House and Senate plan to be in session through Friday.
