Illinois lawmakers’ state budget was still not finalized to be sent to Governor JB Pritzker Friday as the spring legislative session ended.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WLS) — Illinois lawmakers will have to go into overtime to get a budget to Governor JB Pritzker’s desk.

Friday was the scheduled final day for the spring session, but lawmakers still haven’t agreed on a budget.

One of the biggest hang-ups is more than $800 million in new tax revenues.

The money would come from extra revenues on items like an increased sports wagering tax and a cap on corporate tax deductions.
