Illinois lawmakers have put plans for pension reform on hold for now.
The Illinois General Assembly held its first full day of the legislative session Thursday, but no action was taken in resolving the state's 96-billion-dollar pension debt.
The sponsors of two different proposals are putting their plans on file for discussion when lawmakers return in a few weeks.
With dozens of new members in the State House and Senate, sponsors of the proposals are hoping to see change.
