	On May 27, the Illinois House approved Constitutional Amendment 1 in a 73-44 vote, two votes more than the 71 votes needed to pass, in what the "Chicago Tribune" called a "historic vote". The Constitutional Amendment proposal will be sent to voters for a 2020 referendum after it passed both houses of the legislature with 3/5 approval. The House passed Senate Bill 687 three days later. Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker signed Senate Bill 687 on June 5, 2019.
