 Harris, anticipating its defeat, did not call for a vote before the General Assembly adjourned on May 31, but instead extended the deadline for its approval until August 31, allowing for it to be considered by a special session if Governor Quinn identified it for consideration should he call the Assembly into special session as expected.A special session was held on pension reform, the same-sex marriage bill, however, was not included.Instead, LGBT organizations and the bill's sponsors focused instead on increasing support for the legislation, with the goal of holding a vote in the October and November veto session of the House and Senate.
