1 HOUSE RESOLUTION
2 WHEREAS, The safety and welfare of children are of the
3 utmost concern to this Body; and
4 WHEREAS, It is safer for a child to be seated with his or
5 her parent or parents when riding on public transportation
6 than for the child to be separated from his or her parent or
7 parents or forced to remain standing; and
8 WHEREAS, It is safer when parents with children and
9 pregnant women park near the front of parking lots, thereby
10 decreasing the distance required to walk amongst moving
11 vehicles; therefore, be it
12 RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
13 NINETY-FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
14 we urge all providers of public transportation within the
15 State of Illinois to create and provide access to priority
16 seating for children and their parents; and be it further
17 RESOLVED, That children and their parents should have
18 access to this priority seating before the general
19 population; and be it further
20 RESOLVED, That we urge all units of local and State
21 government, along with all business entities located within
22 the State of Illinois, to create and provide access to
23 priority parking spaces for pregnant women and parents with
24 children; and be it further
25 RESOLVED, That these priority parking spaces should be
26 located as close to building entrances as reasonably
27 possible, not including those parking spaces already reserved
28 for disabled individuals.
