A central Illinois lawmaker is sounding the alarm on what he describes as dangerous legislation every parent should know about.

State Sen. Chapin Rose says some of the upcoming legislative proposals in Springfield are ridiculous and he calls some ridiculous like a ban on gas-powered leaf blowers. But others are more serious like a ban on trucks built before 2010. 

Sen. Rose says those ideas aren't even the craziest that are coming up this year. He points to a Naperville lawmaker who is proposing having parents removed as legal guardians if they do not approve gender-affirming care for their minor children.

The Mahomet Republican says this proposal should send a chill down the spine of every parent in the State of Illinois. He says there are people now in the Democratic Party in Illinois that believe the government is better suited to parent a child than its parents and calls it 'insane'.
