As of November 16, the bill received only 60 votes out of the required 71 and could not be moved forward. Fortunately, Representative Rep. Mary E. Flowers (D-Chicago) of the 31st District Office prefers to present the bill in the Illinois General Assembly’s 99th Session on January 9-10, 2017.
Please contact your representatives and urge them to support the MAAC Bill (SB 2932)! CIOGC thanks Rep. Mary E. Flowers, Rep. Carol Ammons, Sen. Jacqueline Collins and Sen. Mattie Hunter for supporting this important initiative.
