If the bill passes with more than 60 but less than 71 votes during the veto session in the House, it will likely be amended to delay the effective date to June 1st, 2014. And it will also cause the Senate to vote on it again (should pass easily there), and then onto Governor Quinn's desk to sign it for it to become law, effective 06.01.2014.
If the bill passes with 71+ votes during the veto session or 60+ during the regular session, it will go straight to the Governor and will take effect 30 days from the bill's passage and/or the Governor's signature on the bill.
