Governor Quinn issued about a dozen vetoes and used his amendatory veto power to change more than 50 other bills.
Leaders say their top priorities when they return in mid-October is to work on a reform bill, passing college scholarships and making sure state workers continue to have health care.
The governor reports the state is still about $4-billion in the hole.
He said he doesn't expect a bill to increase the state income tax to come up in the veto session.
