SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Adriane Johnson has advanced legislation that would allow individuals with felony convictions to apply to become a notary.
“Everyone deserves a chance to move on from the mistakes of their past,” Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “People are striving to do the best that they can and are precluded from advancing their careers and their lives from past actions.”
Under current law, individuals who have been convicted of a felony cannot apply to become a notary. House Bill 4277 would allow individuals who have completed all requirements of felony sentences to apply to become a notary so long as it has been 10 years since the completion of their sentence.
The measure would only allow the individual to apply for appointment and commission as a notary, it does not guarantee a position. The applicant must still go through the typical process involved in becoming a notary.
House Bill 4277 passed the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
SPRINGFIELD – To strengthen and preserve Illinois’ civil rights protections, State Senator Adriane Johnson has advanced legislation to better assess whether policies have discriminatory impacts within the Illinois Human Rights Act.
“Even well-meaning rules can reinforce inequality if we don’t examine their effects,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “Evaluating the disparate impact of policies is important because discrimination is not always clear-cut. Sometimes unfairness hides in everyday rules and systems.”
SPRINGFIELD – In an effort to remove barriers to education, employment and training for incarcerated individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, State Senator Adriane Johnson has advanced House Bill 1810.
“Everyone deserves access to education and job training, including those who are incarcerated,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “This bill ensures individuals with disabilities are not unfairly excluded from opportunities that promote rehabilitation and successful reentry into society.”
SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Adriane Johnson advocated for patient privacy at a press conference Thursday, outlining legislation that would remove hormonal medications such as testosterone and estrogen from the Illinois Prescription Monitoring Program.
“Privacy in health care is not optional—it’s a fundamental right that safeguards dignity, autonomy and personal safety,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “When we protect medical information, we protect the well-being of every patient.”
