Governor Quinn has signed three bills into law during a string of events across Illinois.
In Chicago on Saturday, Quinn signed the Veterans and Servicemembers Court Treatment Act. Quinn’s office says the law will let Illinois counties create judicial courts for veterans with mental health or substance abuse disorders.
Quinn signed a bill in Bloomington that his office says will let Illinois dentists volunteer care at nonprofit health clinics. The clinic can then receive state payments.
And in Harrisburg, Quinn signed a bill that will give Illinois health care providers easier access to patient bathrooms in hospitals. The governor’s office says the legislation is called Seth’s Law, named after a 22-year-old Iraq War veteran who died when hospital workers couldn’t gain access to his bathroom.
Judge Evans is already on this one boys and girls! Looks like he gets his wish and we get to do all of the work. Again. Watch for Judge Gaughn to get involved with this court.
