In this case I believe that NY and CA and other big May issue states don't want it being challenged. This was the safest way for IL to comply and not risk getting the other states May issue laws in trouble in a possible SC showdown. The maryland case went pretty far and i don't think the pro gun control advocates want to possibly have May issue laws tossed as arbitrary.

As far as why a dem state and senate did this the answer is the courts forced them to. But looking at the votes it seams outside of major urban centers the rest of the state has wanted concealed carry for a long time.
