Pritzker promotes higher ed funding, calls for nuclear plant bill to be amended - IPM Newsroom: Governor J-B Pritzker hopes lawmakers will come up with an amended version of SB76, a bill he vetoed on August 11 that would have ended Illinois’ moratorium on building nuclear power plants. During a visit to tout higher education funding at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus, Pritzker said that despite his veto, he favors the bill as a way to allow the construction of small modular reactors, or SMR’s.
