THE HOUSE PASSED A BILL TODAY (WEDNESDAY) TO HELP STOP BOOK BANNING IN ILLINOIS LIBRARIES. 

THE LEGISLATION PREVENTS SCHOOL AND PUBLIC LIBRARIES THAT BAN CERTAIN BOOKS FROM RECEIVING STATE GRANTS. IT’S SPONSORED BY DOWNERS GROVE REPRESENTATIVE ANNE STAVA MURRAY, WHO SAYS IT’S DISGUSTING THAT THIS EVEN NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

REPRESENTATIVE C-D DAVIDSMEYER OF JACKSONVILLE HAS CONCERNS.

THE SENATE WILL CONSIDER THE BILL NEXT.
