| 1 | | HOUSE RESOLUTION
|
| 2 | | WHEREAS, In the 2017 spring session of the 100th General |
| 3 | | Assembly, both houses of the General Assembly considered and, |
| 4 | | with partisan votes, passed a bill, House Bill 40, that was |
| 5 | | primarily drafted to expand state funding for abortions; and
|
| 6 | | WHEREAS, On April 14, 2017, Bruce Rauner, at a time when |
| 7 | | the Governor was in full awareness of HB 40 and its intended |
| 8 | | purpose, publicly pledged that he would veto the bill; and
|
| 9 | | WHEREAS, Illinois is already one of the highest-taxed |
| 10 | | states in the United States, especially after the adoption of |
| 11 | | the recent 32% increase in the income tax rate, and it is not |
| 12 | | appropriate to expand state funding for abortions; therefore, |
| 13 | | be it
|
| 14 | | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE |
| 15 | | HUNDREDTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we |
| 16 | | call upon Governor Bruce Rauner to immediately honor his pledge |
| 17 | | to veto HB 40; and be it further
|
| 18 | | RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be presented to |
| 19 | | Governor Bruce Rauner.
