SJR0054 rescinds of all previous requests by the Illinois Legislature for a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution.
The Illinois State Senate passed SJR0054 on April 6, 2022 by a vote of 37 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because a so-called “Convention of the States” would not be of “limited” purpose. Article V of the U.S. Constitution was designed to correct structural deficiencies in the federal government, not the behavior of its elected officials. This rescission is a great step at preserving the constitution. We need more precise, and immediate solutions that would restore power back to the states and to the people, such as clear-cut proposals in Congress to repeal bad amendments or state nullification of specific unauthorized federal laws.
SB818 makes Illinois the first state to implement sex-education that aligns with the extremely explicit and perverse National Sex Education Standards (NSES).
The Illinois State Senate passed SB818 on May 20, 2021 by a vote of 37 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill is pushing a more progressive curriculum in Illinois schools. We believe getting our children out of public school is the primary solution because of the indoctrination we are seeing with this progressive curriculum across the country.
HB562 states if legal firearm owners voluntarily submit fingerprints with your FOID renewal than their application skips ahead of those who choose to not submit fingerprints. This bill also provides that any person who is not a federally licensed firearm dealer shall, before selling or transferring the firearms, must contact the Illinois State Police with the transferee's or purchaser's Firearm Owner's Identification Card number to determine the validity of the transferee's or purchaser's ID Card.
The Illinois State Senate passed HB562 on May 31, 2021 by a vote of 40 to 17. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the 2nd Amendment and that right should not be infringed upon. The Constitution does not limit where a gun or firearm can or cannot be used.
HB209 enacts that a food service establishment may not permit employees to use latex gloves in the preparation and handling of food. To encourage compliance, the Department of Public Health shall send a notice of warning to a food service establishment for its first violation of specified provisions. Prohibits the use of latex gloves by EMS personnel in 2023 and health care facility personnel in 2024.
The Illinois State Senate passed HB209 on April 7, 2022 by a vote of 44 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this is unnecessary government interference in the operation of private healthcare and business. This legislation is just another step that the government has taken to interfere in commerce. There are other ways to address allergies and concerns than to restrict something completely.
HB5549 Provides that the African-American HIV/AIDS Response Fund should provide resources for creating and maintaining at least one Black-led Center of Excellence HIV Biomedical Resource Hub for every $3,000,000 of available funding to improve Black health and eliminate Black HIV-related health disparities.
The Illinois State Senate passed HB5549 on March 31, 2022 by a vote of 53 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation was created in the name of equity, propping up another race over another. The left has been promoting woke radical Marxist ideas for years regarding race and sexual orientation. The government and taxpayer dollars should not be embracing these ideas.
HB4481 provides that the Illinois State Police, the Illinois Department of Transportation, and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority shall work together to conduct a program to increase the amount of cameras along expressways and the State highway system.
The Illinois State Senate passed HB4481 on April 8, 2022 by a vote of 48 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation is a strong move by the government to interfere even more in our lives. This is an invasion of privacy and we must make sure we stop the government from going further.
