AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Data Center Pressure in Springfield: Advocates are urging Illinois lawmakers to pass the POWER Act before the May 31 session end, arguing the governor’s office has shown “lack of engagement” as the bill has only cleared subject-matter hearings and no votes yet. School Choice Stalemate: Meanwhile, the Education Freedom Tax Credit debate is stuck in political limbo, with Gov. JB Pritzker facing mounting pressure to decide while a related Senate bill also stalls. AI Regulation Push: Illinois Senate Democrats unveiled an eight-bill package to regulate AI, aiming to create a “de facto national standard” before adjournment. Local Housing Tech: Chicago’s Housing Committee advanced a plan for a centralized online affordable housing portal to streamline waitlists and applications. Campus Watch: UIS construction is moving on its $42.6M Library Commons, and Illinois School for the Deaf summer camp registration closes Friday. Business & Jobs: Starbucks announced another round of corporate layoffs, cutting about 300 U.S. roles.
