THE STATE'S HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY IS ASKING FOR A SOLID PLAN TO WORK TOWARDS FULLY REOPENING. 

DURING A VIRTUAL SENATE COMMITTEE HEARING, THOSE REPRESENTING HOTELS, FOODSERVICE AND BARS STRESSED THE NEED FOR MORE GUIDANCE AS ILLINOIS SITS IN PHASE FOUR OF COVID MITIGATIONS. THAT INCLUDES ILLINOIS RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT SAM TOIA, WHO SAYS CURRENT RULES NEED TO BE REVISITED.

SENATOR DAVE SYVERSON OF ROCKFORD AGREED.

SENATE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WANT TO WORK WITH PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS AND INDUSTRY LEADERS OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS TO COME UP WITH A DETAILED GAME PLAN TO TRANSITION INTO PHASE FIVE.
