I filed 15 new bills in this year’s spring session. I would have liked to have seen all of them pass in committee and keep advancing, but not all of them made it. I am glad to tell you about the five bills that are still moving. The deadline for House bills to pass over to the Senate is next Friday.
House Bill 46 aims to address the child care shortage in Illinois by requiring the state to provide documentation for translating child care license applications.
House Bill 1149 mandates that higher education institutions in Illinois craft a policy to grant academic credit for firefighter training. This is an extension of the current law that already allows credits for EMT training.
House Bill 1754 instructs the Department of Public Health to provide educational materials related to alpha-gal syndrome on its website and to initiate an awareness campaign. This campaign targets community members, local health departments, and medical providers to educate them about the signs, symptoms, and diagnosis procedures of alpha-gal syndrome.
House Bill 2631 proposes updates to certain definitions in the Illinois Code of Military Justice.
House Bill 3388 seeks to expand the definition of “fire department vehicle” to include certain off-road vehicles and watercraft that are designated or authorized by local authorities for fire department tasks.
