SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Illinois now has its first full budget in three fiscal years. The Illinois House has overridden Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of the budget package that had previously passed both chambers of the General Assembly.

The revenue bill, Senate Bill 9, passed by a vote of 71-42. That vote was followed by the passage of the budge implementation bill and the spending plan. Senate Bill 6, the spending plan, passed 74-37.

Representatives Jehan Gordon-Booth and Mike Unes voted for the entire package. No votes included Representatives Tim Butler, Keith Sommer, Dan Brady and Ryan Spain.

House Speaker Michael Madigan addressed the chamber after the passage of the budget saying Republicans and Democrats stood together to end a destructive 736 day impasse.

The House adjourned at 4:40pm.
