House Bill 2827, a controversial proposal to put intrusive and heavy-handed mandates on homeschool families, passed the House Education Policy committee this morning, with all Republicans voting No. The bill now goes to the House floor for consideration by the full body.
If this bill comes up for a vote in the next few weeks I will be voting No. Well over 40,000 Illinoisans have taken the time to file witness slips in opposition to the legislation.
The deadline for House bills to advance over to the Senate is April 11.
I would also like to thank the families from my district that made their way to Springfield today for the committee hearing.
If you have not already done so, you can sign my petition to stop this bill by clicking here.
