Rep. Jennifer Sanalitro abstains from voting on SB0343 amendment to Principal and Income Act

Rep. Jennifer Sanalitro (R-48th) did not participate in voting on SB0343, a measure to amend the short title of the Principal and Income Act, during the 104th General Assembly on May 31, 2026, records from the Illinois House show; the bill received approval in the House by a margin of 75-34.

The bill text identifies the proposal as "CIVIL LAW-TECH."

The following explanation, based on the actual language in the measure, offers interpretation intended to clarify its impact.

Essentially, the bill updates the Principal and Income Act by making a technical adjustment to the section regarding its short title, stating the Act may specifically be cited as the Principal and Income Act. No other substantive amendments or details appear in the proposal.

The documented action for SB0343 was 'Third Reading - Short Debate - Passed.'

Sanalitro, a Republican, was first elected to the Illinois House in 2023 for the 48th District, taking over from predecessor Terra Costa Howard.

Illinois legislative proposals advance through a multi-step process that starts with either chamber, then proceeds to committees, floor debate, and votes in the House and Senate before reaching the governor for final action. The General Assembly runs on a two-year cycle. Thousands of measures are introduced each session, but a minority successfully complete the path to enactment.
