GOP Lawsuit Seeks to End ‘Gut-and-Replace’ Legislation
- On June 20, 2025, Illinois House and Senate Republicans urged Governor Pritzker to reject Senate Bill 328 and initiated legal action in Sangamon County to challenge the bill’s passage process.
- The bill was approved after midnight through a gut-and-replace strategy that circumvented the mandated Three Readings Rule and skipped committee reviews.

- Senate Republican Leader John Curran called the process shady and urged Pritzker to veto this anti-business legislation, while Sen. Jason Plummer labeled it "legalized litigation tourism."
- The lawsuit challenges the bill on constitutional grounds and signals ongoing opposition due to concerns over economic harm and government transparency.
