Low

How often bills like it became law.

Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Prognosis reads this bill's own signals — stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes and cross-state momentum. Odds come from a model trained on which bills have become law.

In plain language

The bill revises Illinois estate tax rules regarding spousal exclusion for certain decedents.

This legislation amends the Illinois Estate and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Act to allow a person's estate tax exclusion amount to include their deceased spouse's unused exclusion amount if certain federal elections are made. It applies to individuals who pass away on or after January 1, 2027.
