State Sen. Win Stoller (R-Germantown Hills) is working to make sure Ronald McDonald House Charities can help keep families caring for a sick child close by sponsoring a bill that would create a tax checkoff for the nonprofit.
Under Senate Bill 81, the Ronald McDonald House Charities Fund would be added to Illinois' tax checkoff program.
"The Ronald McDonald House Charities provides an invaluable service to families faced with the medical hardships of a sick child," Stoller wrote in a post on his Facebook page. "This tax checkoff program will help ensure that Ronald McDonald House can continue to provide assistance to Illinois families who need it."
Illinois taxpayers can designate whole dollar amounts as little as $1 and higher to the charities or causes that are included in the state's tax checkoff program.
Amber Kaylor, CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Illinois, said this type of support would help the organization serve more families in the 29 counties they serve because of taxpayers making voluntary contributions according to a release on Stoller's Senate website.
Senate Bill 81 is headed to Gov. J.B. Pritzker's (D-IL) desk after it passed both chambers in the state legislature without opposition.
