From State Rep. Sue Ness:
| This month marked the bill filing deadline in Springfield – where legislators had to submit their proposals for consideration during this upcoming session. As I look ahead, I remain committed to work in a bipartisan manner to move forward practical commonsense solutions for our community that address affordability. Other top legislative efforts for this session include protecting retirement security, strengthening transportation infrastructure, supporting our veterans, and ensuring that our most vulnerable populations have the critical resources they need. I look forward to collaborating with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address affordability and budget concerns for this upcoming session. Below are some bills I am either co-sponsoring or sponsoring. |
HB4248 – Algorithmic Pricing Transparency Act Creates the Algorithmic Pricing Transparency Act to regulate “surveillance pricing” (personalized prices based on consumer data) used by online sellers. HB1146 – Plastic Bag Reduction Act Amends the Solid Waste Planning and Recycling Act to create a statewide phase-out of single-use carryout bags in Illinois. HB1314 – County Ethics Commission Amends the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act. In provisions requiring governmental entities to adopt ordinances or resolutions regulating specified ethical concerns, provides that a governmental entity may create an ethics commission to satisfy the requirements. Last Week’s Update from Springfield Last week was a busy and productive week in Springfield! On Facebook (make sure to follow our social medias by visiting our linktr.ee/RepSuzanneNess!), I shared a quick update on some of the work I’ve been doing — from meeting with local mayors and village presidents from across our district, to co-chairing the annual Conference of Women Legislators meeting, to reviewing the Governor’s proposed budget. My response to U.S. Supreme Court decision on tariffs: I welcome the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down significant tariffs that were unconstitutionally implemented and raised costs for American families, manufacturers, and small businesses. While not an immediate fix, this is a step in the right direction for Americans who have borne the cost of these tariffs. |
