032323CM0381rSPRINGFIELD – State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton passed a measure to require vital records to indicate whether a service-related injury contributed to a veteran’s death.

“By not listing contributing factors behind a veteran’s death, we are potentially leaving out important information for their families,” said Glowiak Hilton (D – Western Springs). “Including these factors will ensure families receive the correct compensation after the death of their loved ones.”

House Bill 2856 would require vital records to list contributing factors behind a veteran’s death. This requirement would ensure survivor benefits and other rights are addressed if the death was caused by a service-related injury.

“During such a traumatic time, we need to ensure we are taking the right steps to give families the information they need.” said Glowiak Hilton. “After the large sacrifice our veterans have made for our state and nation, the least we can do is make sure their deaths are accurately reported.”

House Bill 2856 passed the Senate Wednesday.

glowiak 051023SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton is spearheading a measure to make Native American history a requirement for all public elementary and high school students.

“Native American history is American history, and it has been overlooked for far too long,” said Glowiak Hilton (D – Western Springs). “Our history classes should be more representative of our nation’s origins.”

House Bill 1633 would require public schools to make Native American history part of curriculum. Teachings would include the study of the genocide of and discrimination against Native Americans, as well as tribal sovereignty, treaties made between tribal nations and the United States, and the circumstances around forced Native American relocation.

glowiak 042823SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton is spearheading a measure to require vital records to indicate whether or not a service-related injury contributed to a veteran’s death.

“The lack of indication behind the cause of a veteran’s death leaves us with more questions than answers,” said Glowiak Hilton (D – Western Springs). “These changes to vital records will help explain the contributing factors behind a veteran’s passing.”

House Bill 2856 would require vital records to list contributing factors behind a veteran’s death. This requirement would ensure survivor benefits and other rights are addressed if the death was caused by a service-related injury.

GH SB1715

 

SPRINGFIELD – An initiative led by State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton that would require bottle filling stations in many new buildings being constructed in Illinois passed the Senate.

“Although there are already requirements for water fountains in buildings, many people use their own bottles or containers,” said Glowiak Hilton (D – Western Springs). “These people are taking the right steps of helping the environment, and should have easy access to do so.”

Senate Bill 1715 would require new buildings that are 5,000 square feet or larger and with a 100 person or more occupancy to provide a bottle filling station for every drinking fountain required under the plumbing code.

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton is leading a measure that would ensure Illinois schools would permit students to display articles of clothing that have cultural or religious significance at their graduation.

“Graduates should have the right to represent who they are,” said Glowiak Hilton. “Discrimination, of any kind, has no place in our schools.”

The measure requires the Illinois State Board of Education, in consultation with stakeholders, to create resource materials to list items that relate to a student’s cultural, ethnic and religious identity that schools should recognize and protect in its dress code policies regarding graduation attire.

glowiak 032323SPRINGFIELD – A measure led by State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton to prohibit “spoof” calling – a misleading tactic call scammers use to disguise their caller ID – advanced out of the Senate Thursday.

“Time and again, residents are faced with harassment from scammers,” said Glowiak Hilton (D – Western Springs). “We need to protect our residents from these malicious calls.”

Senate Bill 160 prohibits spoof calls – and would no longer allow people to use a fake caller ID. The measure would also require automated telemarketers to state the organization they represent, the purpose of the call and require them to confirm that the individual wants to continue with the call. If the caller refuses the organization’s solicitation, the business must ensure they will not call the individual again and must take the steps necessary to remove the individual from their records.
