Pedestrian Safety Bill Advances
HB 43, the must stop for pedestrians bill, was passed out of the Senate Transportation Committee yesterday. The vote was 7 Yes, 1 No and 2 Present. The bill now proceeds to the full Senate for its final vote.
HB 43 recently gained the support of Illinois State Police and Gov. Pat Quinn.
Although we are grateful for the strong voice of support by the Transportation Committee, the vote in the full Senate will probably be closer. We need to keep the momentum going for three more weeks.
If you live in any of these Senators districts, please call the Senator and ask him/her to vote for HB 43.
