Rep. Haas, State GOP sue Democrats for violating Third Reading Rule

Illinois Republicans have filed suit, challenging the Democrats in the passage of SB 328. The challenge is to how the budget was approved, disregarding the Third Reading Rule.

79th District State Representative Jackie Haas is included among the GOP members seeking transparency. Haas said “the unending rule-breaking by Democrats must stop.” She said "we must restore accountability."

Republican State Senators and Representatives have joined to challenge the passage of Senate Bill 328. The suit claims the law’s passage was unconstitutional under the third reading rule, which calls for three readings before the measure is voted on.

Rep. Haas states, “Enough is enough. The people of Illinois deserve better.”
