Illinois will become the first state in the U.S. with a law giving Muslim-Americans a formal voice in state government unless Gov. Rauner vetos SB 574
The bill approved by 98% of the Illinois House and Senate would create a 21-member Illinois Muslim-American Advisory Council. It’s awaiting Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s signature.
The 21-volunteer member council
• would be appointed by the governor and leaders in the House and Senate.
• would advise the governor and the General Assembly on issues affecting Muslim Americans and immigrants, including relations between Illinois and Muslim-majority countries.
• would serve as liaisons between state agencies and communities across Illinois through monthly meetings and two public hearings per year.
Members would serve two-year terms to advise in areas that include higher education, business, international trade, law, immigration and health care. Staff members from certain state agencies would serve as ex-officio members.
TELL THE GOVERNOR TO VETO SB 574. The governor’s public comment lines are 217-782-0244 and 312-814-2121.
If you have a link to that info I would greatly appreciate it.
They’re like an invading army.. rules must be followed so states bend over backwards to accommodate their culture while destroying ours with a slow fuse.
