Sen. Seth Lewis backs SB0807, advancing technical change to Illinois Civil Administrative Code

Sen. Seth Lewis (R-24th) supported SB0807, which introduces a technical correction to the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Voting occurred during the 104th General Assembly on May 31, 2026, with the Illinois Senate reporting a final vote of 58-0 in favor of the measure.

The official summary of the bill states: "STATE GOVERNMENT-TECH."

The summary below relies on the bill's official text, with additional explanation to clarify its intent where appropriate.

This legislation implements a technical change in the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois, updating the wording in Section 1-1, which identifies the Act’s short title. No new provisions are introduced; instead, the revision streamlines the language to clarify the Act should be cited as the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. The amendment is designed to improve clarity and legal precision without changing any substantive content.

The official record for SB0807 indicates: 'House Floor Amendment No. 1 Senate Concurs'.

Lewis earned his BS from the University of Iowa in 1991.

A member of the Republican Party, Lewis was elected to the Illinois State Senate in 2023, representing the 24th District after succeeding Suzy Glowiak.

The process for passing legislation in Illinois involves a series of legislative steps, starting with introduction in either the House or Senate, followed by committee examination, floor consideration, and votes in both chambers. Bills must then go to the governor for approval or veto. The General Assembly works on a two-year cycle, and although many bills are introduced each session, only a limited number successfully complete the process to become law.
