Central Illinois Lawmakers Reacts to Last Week's Veto Session

A central Illinois lawmaker is reacting to last week's veto session where not a lot got done from her perspective.

 

State Senator Sally Turner explains often the legislature is kept in the dark on what the agenda is going into the veto session.

 

 

According to the Lincoln Republican, a bill was passed to help protect the identity of DCFS workers and conceal their home addresses.

 

 

Sen. Turner outlines a bill that deals with electrical vehicles and charging stations. It requires new multi-family units or buildings with parking lots to have electric vehicle charging stations.

 

 

A disappointment from Sen. Turner's perspective is the 'invest in kids' scholarship program was not addressed as much as she would have liked. She indicates there was talk the House took it up but it didn't make it to the Senate.

 

 

Sen. Turner was encouraged to see dozens of students day after day at the capitol advocating for the program to remain in place.

 

Lawmakers return to Springfield Nov. 7-9.
