Illinois Lawmakers Fail To Pass Bears Bill Despite Goal Line Push

Illinois lawmakers failed to pass a bill aimed at incentivizing the Chicago Bears to build a new stadium in the state, as the House adjourned without voting on the Senate-approved measure. The Senate passed the bill with bipartisan support, but House Speaker Emanuel Welch stated the legislature would revisit the issue later. The Bears confirmed they remain on schedule to decide between staying in Illinois or moving to Indiana's Hammond by late spring/early summer.
