Illinois lawmakers are losing time to get new bills passed and a balanced budget resolved before May. Some new bills that have been proposed are now bogged down with the Assignments committee even with opposite sides of the aisle behind them. Illinois State Senator Steve McClure, a Republican representative of Illinois’ 54th Senate District, talks the stalled sexual assault at schools bill first. McClure says despite receiving the most support of any new bill this session, it will likely not pass before the impending deadline.

Another bill that McClure has drafted and got passed by the Senate concerns disabled individuals requirement to get a yearly renewal for their license and placard. McClure is hopeful this bill will make it through the House soon.

Nascar Driver Justin Allgaier recently made his rounds through the Capitol following McClure’s resolution to make November 9th, 2025, ‘Justin Allgaier Day.’ Allgaier, a Central Illinois native, won the Xfinity Series Championship just last year.

McClure is happy to announce that much needed funding for the historical site ‘New Salem,’ was secured. 8 million dollars is now being put towards renovations and upgrades.
