Defines "leader-follower work zone vehicle" as a motor vehicle used in combination with another motor vehicle in a highway construction or maintenance zone that is: (1) equipped with an automated driving system; and (2) remotely connected to another motor vehicle allowing for coordinated or controlled movement within line of sight of the operator. Provides that the provision regarding following too closely does not apply to leader-follower work zone vehicles.

Maddy summaryHB 3025 is a technical amendment to Illinois' Income Tax Act that updates the reference language in Section 201 regarding tax rate calculations. It does not change any tax rates, brackets, or who is subject to taxation. The bill corrects how the tax code references historical rate provisions without altering the actual tax obligations for individuals, trusts, estates, or corporations. This is a procedural fix to the law's wording, not a policy change affecting taxpayers.

Maddy summaryHB 2412 corrects a technical error in the short title of the Uniform Emergency Volunteer Health Practitioners Act by removing an extra "the" that appeared in the existing citation. This procedural change does not alter the law's content, application, or impact on emergency volunteer health practitioners. The bill only adjusts the law's official naming and has no policy or practical effect on how the law operates. It was introduced on January 31, 2025, and referred to the Rules Committee.

Maddy summaryThis resolution formally honors Mark Schneidewind for his retirement as Will County Farm Bureau Manager after 30+ years of service (1991-2025). It recognizes his work developing legislative relationships, creating the annual "legislative barn meeting" series, organizing lobby days, and leading community projects like Operation Care Package and Ag Olympics. The resolution has no policy impact - it is purely a ceremonial gesture from the Illinois House of Representatives to acknowledge his contributions to agricultural advocacy. It directly affects only Mark Schneidewind, expressing the House's respect for his career.
