Springfield, Ill. – Legislation sponsored by State Sen. Dave Luechtefeld (R-Okawville) to crack down on sex offenders passed the Illinois Senate on March 9.

“I’m pleased to know that we are one step closer to establishing increased penalties for sex offenders who prey on our children around school zones,” Luechtefeld said.
 

Okawville, Ill. – Legislative committees met continuously during the week as Senate lawmakers attempted to move all Senate bills out of committee by the scheduled March 5 deadline, said State Sen. Dave Luechtefeld (R- Okawville).  

The Senate Executive Committee considered legislation that would require a photo of any prisoner who received early release to be posted online, while additional measures would increase the speed limit for cars and trucks to 70 mph on rural interstates and allow $300 million in short-term borrowing for health care providers.
