SB 1591 passed the Senate unanimously on April 10 and is now in the House.
On Monday, Illinois Chamber Tax Institute law firm member Horwood Marcus and Berk hosted the Tax Institute quarterly meeting. Senate Revenue committee Chairperson Senator Toi Hutchinson was the featured speaker. I also provided a mid-session legislative update. Here is a link to my presentation.
