		SPRINGFIELD —; Secretary of State Jesse White applauded the Illinois House of Representatives for approving his initiative to create a First-Person Consent Organ and Tissue Donor Registry in Illinois that would make a person's decision to donate organs and tissue following their death a binding decision.

	Illinois Slaughter Ban Tackled by House Committee - bloodhorse.com
		New legislation to ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption in the state of Illinois was introduced Feb. 6, 2004, in the Illinois House of Representatives in the form of HB 6570.
		The chief sponsors of SB 1921 were Molaro in the House and Sen. Christine Radogno of the 41st district, Lamont, Illinois, in the Senate.
		Based on comments from both sides in the dispute, the re-introduction of a bill (in this case House Bill 6570, which is basically the same as SB 1921) is a strategy that is sometimes employed when there are indications that the original bill might remain bottled up in committee.

	AALL Washington Affairs: Letter to Illinois House of Representatives, March 17, 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		We join the 3,400 members of the Illinois Library Association and the Chicago Association of Law Libraries (CALL) in opposing this measure that defines obscenity at the county level and could result in 102 different interpretations of obscene material.
		The impact of HB 245 on law libraries in Illinois would have a chilling effect on the ability of attorneys, judges, and others to access certain needed materials.
		It is not sound policy to impede the rights of Illinois citizens to access certain materials that a very few individuals within each county might deem obscene.

	Kurt Olson - Illinois (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		I believe that the House bill that would not recognize marriages contracted between persons of the same sex in another state in the Union is as immoral as any continuing law that discriminates against persons of the same sex wishing to get married to one another.
		Today such a similarly institutionally vested opinion is what a handful of church officials and elected government representatives hold in opposition to continuously emerging contemporary scientific revelations about the genesis of sexual orientation of any kind.
		Under the Illinois statute numbered 5/213, there is mentioned certain prohibited marriages which would be contrary to the public policy of this State.

	CC - RELEASE Illinois House override (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The House voted 85 to 30 Tuesday, overriding the anti-gun governor's veto of SB 2165, which would protect citizens from local anti-gun ordinances if they use a firearm to defend themselves or their families.
		The legislation was inspired by the case of Wilmette resident Hale DeMar, who shot a burglar in his home with a handgun, despite the city's handgun ban.
		The good citizens of Illinois deserve to be secure in their homes, not only from predatory criminals, but from nitwit local ordinances that would punish them for doing what any normal person would do when faced with a threat.
