What happened: The Illinois House is set to adjourn without taking up the stadium-support bill the state Senate sent over for the Chicago Bears, per @RapSheet. Unless a special session is called over the summer, the chamber is not scheduled to reconvene until November, leaving the measure in limbo for months.

Why it matters: The delay stalls the public-support legislation the Bears have pursued as they weigh their long-term home. In a statement, the team said it would finalize its evaluation of its stadium options, signaling that legislative inaction could push the franchise to keep weighing alternatives rather than commit to a single site.

What to watch: Watch whether Illinois leadership calls a special session this summer; absent that, the bill waits until the legislature returns in November, and the Bears' next public statement on site selection becomes the key tell.
