Illinois 96th Legislature now in session and filing BILLS
If you want to see some I have reviewed and think noteworthy click HERE
One bill I find maybe of interest is this one. It is too late to help the Justice for several bikers in the area killed by teenage drivers, but we have to get something that fits the crime of careless killing of another human with a 2 ton tank. This would make the inattentive drivers responsible for their murder of someone by vehicle:
HB0073-NEGLIGENT VEH HOMICIDE,DRIVING- Synopsis As Introduced
