The Illinois legislature passed a bill to create a uniform speed limit of 65 mph for both cars and trucks in most of the state (except the Chicago area) a couple of weeks ago.

They sent the bill to the governor.

Has he signed it? How long does he have to sign/veto it?

If signed, it will take effect 1/1/2010.

Sure hope so.

Illinois is disfunctional to say the least, don't hold your breath.

OK The governor of IL finally signed the bill into law in mid-August...

Illinois will be 65 for cars and trucks beginning 1/1/10 with the exception of certain Chicago-area counties.
