IL HB5816

Creates the 72-Hour Budget Review Act requiring appropriation and revenue bills to be made publicly available at least 72 hours before any hearing or vote, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays unless the chamber is in session.

Requires amendments to appropriation or revenue bills to be publicly available at least 24 hours before a vote, and striking amendments to be available at least 48 hours before a vote, with the same weekend/holiday exclusions.

Applies time limitations each time a bill is considered at different legislative stages, including conference committee recommendations.

Allows the 72-hour requirement to be waived by an affirmative two-thirds vote of the full committee or chamber, which must include a statement declaring that "The (chamber or committee) has waived the People's right for a detailed review of this legislation."

Takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
