IT’S A SIMPLE BILL, BUT ONE DESIGNED TO MAKE THE LIVES OF FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST A SOLDIER A LITTLE EASIER.

 

FAMILIES HAVE ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT WHEN A PARENT, SIBLING OR CHILD IS KILLED IN ACTIVE MILITARY DUTY SAYS SENATOR DAVE KOEHLER OF PEORIA. HIS BILL, WHICH HAS NOW PASSED THE HOUSE AND SENATE, LETS IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS OR DEPENDENTS CANCEL THE FALLEN SERVICE MEMBER’S LEASE IF NECESSARY.

 

 

 

IT’S NOW UP TO THE GOVERNOR TO SIGN THE BILL INTO LAW.
