Three Illinois Senate Republicans called for the passing of a legislation package they say would bring relief to small businesses and their employees across the state.
In a press conference, State Sens. Seth Lewis, Dave Syverson and Craig Wilcox said they want to make Illinois a place where people want to live, instead of leave.
They said the bills aim to address affordability while also considering current state budget issues.
Lewis said one of his proposals would provide a $100 tax credit to Illinois businesses for each year they have been headquartered in the state.
None of the proposals in the package have been heard in any committees yet, but the lawmakers called on senators across the aisle, saying there is still time to include the initiatives in a final budget.
