A state lawmaker has filed a lawsuit challenging the governor's authority to extend the state's stay-at-home order.
The suit seeks to have the Illinois Supreme Court determine if Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s has the authority to issue rolling emergency stay-at-home orders that governor said were designed to slow the spread of COVID-19.
State Rep. Darren Bailey, R-Xenia, filed a lawsuit in Clay County Circuit Court on Thursday challenging the governor’s stay-at-home order beyond April 9.
"I've never sued anyone in my life," Bailey said Thursday on Facebook Live.
