Here's the voting record; only 13 opposed it. It now goes to the House.
The amendment prohibits it from being used for drivers licenses or government services, but it can still be used to open bank accounts, library cards, etc. In effect, it offers recognition to Illinois' 400,000 illegals who are here to steal jobs and wages from the state's residents.
The Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times and Daily Herald ignored this legislation just as they have ignored a House bill (HB 129) that would give drivers licenses to these criminals.
And it remains to be seen whether all foreign governments are going to go along with the amendment's provision for printing their cards in English.
1 AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 1623
2 AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 1623 by replacing 3 everything after the enacting clause with the following:

1 Section 15. Privacy and disclosure limitations. Use by a 2 State agency or officer or a unit of local government of 3 information collected from, or appearing on, a consular 4 identification document is subject to the same privacy and 5 disclosure limitations that apply to the Illinois 6 Identification Card.".
Illinois cannot wait to follow in the steps of Mexifornia. This is Chicagolady saying goodbye from what USE to be a good place to live!
The Illinois General Assembly will return April 5 and most likely will vote on HB 129 that would give drivers licenses to illegals and SB 1623 that would require Illinois to recognize Mexico's bogus matricula consular.
Click here to see the June 2003 FBI testimony that calls the matricula an "unreliable" form of identification.
Call your state representatives and senators and ask them to vote "no" on this legislation that benefits only illegal aliens and their greedy employers, who also in violation of federal law.
Could the Minuteman project come to Illinois??
Can this state be saved??
